Lizard setup pictures

Being the newbie I am I've yet to master the art of attaching images to posts, so I'll just link to my gallery. I have 23 pics of my lizard and it's set up.

The pics are from when I first set it up. I've added some things to it since then, but it gives a good idea of the enclosure. The orange bucket inside the dirt box is basically my sump and sump pump. Below the dirt is a layer of clay balls for the water level. When the water gets too high it pumps it back into the aquarium. Once a day water is pumped from the aquarium and drips over the dirt. It was meant to water plants however I haven't gotten the lighting right right so the plants keep dying. Still working on it.

slakey;2323198; said:Tiles are apparently the safest thing to use for beardie substrateBut it has to be a certain kind of tiling that doesn't soak up any liquids etc so it won't rinse the humidity in the tank.
And it's also easy to clean poo from it.
Except it doesn't accomodate a beardie's natural instinct to dig.
Add a big container of sand in there. Your beardie is large enough that you do not have to worry about impaction.

20 is waaaaay too small. Fine for babies, but they will outgrow it.
You could always make a house for it, like this Beardie has....
yeah I will have a tub outside of his viv for sand could get another large tub from Asda and fill it with sand for when he comes out for a stretch, as long as the food isn't in the sand it should be fine, but to check their enviroment they use their tongues, hense why it's looked as dangerous for them.
