Just because it is plant matter does NOT mean it is digestable. For example you could not go grazing in your back yard and expect to digest the grass you ate. You do not have the proper enzymes to do this. Certain creatures can break down certain types of plant matter. It varies greatly. I have no dragons and am not trying to put down your choice of substrate. I just wanted to let you know. As far as substrate choices go, I have many leos that were raised and lived on sand. They were all fine, then one day one of my favorite blizzards fell ill and died a short while later from sand impaction. Since then I do not use and loose substrates for and of my animals. (well cept for the hedgehog who loves the woodchips For my leos most are on paper towels, for the ones who are on display slate looking tiles from homedepot.
