very interesting reading. I think the risk is realtively low for our dragons. With these products, I think the warnings are more geared toward humans and long term effects like cancer. The chemicals are the same that is used in medical products like intravenous catheters, IV tubing and bags. There has been a great deal of debate about them for a while now. I think if they could pin cancers and reproductive problems on the PVC in these products the lawyers would have sued the pants off of Abbott industries by now, LOL.



For now I think I will stick with the shelf liner just becasue of the ease for me. I know that sounds really selfish, but for me sand is a pain in the patootey (that is butt for you youngsters ) I hate sifting it and it still looks dirty. Plus it makes my dragon dusty! Thanks for the links.
