Isn't Lizard Litter made from crushed walnut shells?



I never noticed any strong smell from my bearded dragon enclosure..I have him only on paper towel right now (though he is old enough to be on sand, but certainly don't want to deal with trying to clean a 35 gal glass aquarium that has sand in it..certainly don't want to use my vacumn cleaner to clean it) and never notice much of a smell from the cage, even when I stick my nose right into the top of the tank. Towards the time I clean the tank there is a bit stronger smell...but I typical clean it twice a month..so it certainly takes awhile to start to smell dirty. It looks more dirty than smells dirty. (ie little stains on the papertowel where he pooped).



I clean out his poop every day, sometimes twice a day. Basically every time he poops I remove it. It is also very convenient that he poops about 10 minutes after I feed him in the morning so I can get it out before I leave for the day.



This all said, I don't see why sand would be worse than paper towel. As for the dust, it was always recommended to get washed playsand, which removes most of the dust.
