SUBSTRATE QUESTION

Pine has harmful oils.
Also, you do not want your Bearded/s to accidentally ingest any substrate (whether just licking or if/when going after any live feed).
I simply use plain paper towels. Never have had a single problem.

Bearded dragons lick EVERYTHING and when they do, stuff goes in their mouth and they eat it. Large chunks of any kind of substrate will cause impaction, which can lead to death.

Pine has oils that are toxic to reptiles which will eventually cause respiratory distress and death.
