Until then it's shelf liner for me as I highly doubt my dragons are in more danger with it then with anything else I could use. Lets see danger from repti carpet/indoor outdoor carpet chemicals, sand & dirt impactions, respiratory infections from dusty substrates. Substrates that harbor bacteria and molds. pine shavings, food dyes, preservatives, cleaning agents, gees even the Tupperware, and plastic containers we keep our foods in etc. I could find three or four sites that are against the use of any of these for one reason or another, and at least 6 that will cause cancer in lab rats who are fed or ingesting levels of any of them daily or one element that they contain for a period of time. Seems everything has a down side but the dangers, and risks must be weighed. If you have something better in mind I would love to know what it is, as I'm always looking for things that will give my dragons the best possible chance for long healthy lives with me?
