Just avoid cali-sand. If your going to put him on sand, use washed playsand, but if he is a young beardie, paper towels or repti carpet is better in the beginning. That way you avoid them possibly ingesting sand and yu can also see the condition of thier poo.... If you do have to treat them for coccidia or worms, you will have to toss out the sand of wash, bake and air dry it also.... so its easy to use the paper towels in the beginning.
Also make sure you have something that hold a bit of heat for them to bask one.... river rock or a cave (resin or stone) they really seem to enjoy these and makes them more relaxed in a new home.
Don't forget the supplements, calcium with vit D3 and a mineral supplement such as minerall.
