Can he be moved to sand yet??

jlizard Jan 31, 2004 09:52 PM

i have had my beardie for 4 moths now hes about 6-7 months old. I have had him in his 40 breeder he doin fine. lighting heating is fine. feeding is fine. but i was wondering if it is ok to move him to sand now, i have him on repti-carpet but it looks sooo uncomfortable. its like a hard rock. I know it sounds silly but i want in to be comfortable laying on the floor of his tank. I would feed him in the spare 10 gallon i have to reduce any chances of sand compaction. My question is, is he old enough for sand?
