Put beardies on super soil? Is there any problem there?

i would think not, but then what the heck is supersoil?? if you want something natural looking and safe try wheat bran, only for adults though, babys under 10-12 inches should be kept on papertowels.

She is an adult. Super soil is a type of potting soil. It is safe to put leopard geckos on.

hrm.... i really dont know enough about the contents of the soil...anyone else?

i wouldnt put my dragons on it, must be composted material and things in the soil, dragons tend to lick too much for a substrate like that i would think, besides that i would think it would make the dragon sorta look dirty all the time... sorry i couldnt help more

The only bad thing about top soil is that once wet fungus and bacteria can grow very fast. Dragons bellies are always on the ground and funguses are known to start on the dragons belly. I would advise against using it. It also adds humidity to the enclosure something that can cause respitory problems in dragons. I've been using a non-slip shelf liner for my cages and it's been great. Daily spot cleaning is so easy, just wet a paper towel and it comes right off. Once a week I soak it in water with a drop of bleach. It's very safe as no particals can get ingested, sanitary, and reusable. I have a pic of one of my dragons on it below if you hit mystical dragons in my signature. A few people here have tried it and said that it has been working great for them.
