Sand, dusty.? you dont say. Lol get rid of the substrate and go with paper. Its easier to clean, faster to clean, there is NO dust, Doesn't hold the bacteria like the substrates do. Doesnt get ingested like the substrate does.
I use to use substrate until i seen un-eaten super worms coming up from the bottom eating the fecal matter. Then what if the dragon ingest the worm that eats the poo? Its how you overload you dragon with coccidia.
With paper you pull it out wipe the cage surface were the dragon went to the bathroom and replace the paper. Fast clean and effective.
NOT all the mess gets cleaned up when you have substrate. Then the dragon has to live and breath the remains of what didnt get cleaned up properly. Can be un-healthy living conditions for your beardie.
