I don't use shelf liner (yet) because i have a tall tank (about 24' tall) so I need tall branches, and sand is the only way to make them secure without using some sort of wires or something to try to attach them to the rim of the tank (don't think it would work with my tank).



I might switch over this summer though. I had an idea to build a basking platform and then cover the top with cork bark and some sort of gang plank style thing to get up onto it. I just haven't had any problems with sand. He doesn't eat on it, and I haven't seen him lick it since the first day I put him on it. I'm still considering the switch though.



Any sort of wood chips are a definate no no though.
