    AP Cages?

Going by your theory, just because other people provide sub-par care its ok. The same could be said for any animal then. People keep dogs chained to a tree with 5 ft of chain all day long and the dog lives, everyone else does it, so its ok? Most people would view that at animal neglect/abuse. But because its a reptile its ok? Rediculous. Look at the natural habitat for these animals, they are not BPs that spend 90 percent of their life in a dark burrow. Beardies (and most lizards in general other than maybe some geckos) move, they dig, the climb, they interact with their environment, when you eliminate their ability to do that they become lethargic or "lazy".
    The ranting, honestly, is not necessary, I am simply saying that OP's setup is fine, her beardie is clearly thriving, so she doesn't need to change anything.
    Besides, I don't like using things like newspaper and papertowel in my reptiles' enclosures, I like making it look cool and feel more natural. But not everybody needs to have huge, amazing, natural enclosures for their reptiles. If someone chooses papertowel, or anything "sub par", it's not the end of the world, and it is certainly not neglect or abuse.

    I'm sure the OP is taking good care of her reptiles.
