    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hi everyone. My name is Dawn, and I'm new to this board. I hope I'm putting this on the right board.

I just purchased a little garter snake and a Bearded Dragon (normal).

I wanted to ask if anyone is familiar with "Bed-A-Beast" bedding?

It comes in a block and you soak it. It's hard to describe, but once soaked, it's a mossy like texture. It's VERY soft.

Would this be an o.k. substrate for the Beardie (completely dried of course)? I've got washed sand for his substrate, but was thinking about using this stuff on one side of his cage.

Also, are Mexican Petunias o.k. to feed Beardies? I don't want to feed him anything "weird" in fear of harming him.

Thanks for any suggestions!
 
I've used the bed-a-beast with dragons before--it's ok, though gets EVERYWHERE....you may want to try mixing it with sand and 'baking' it some under heat lights and see if you can get a semi-hard substrate, like they would live on in the wild. I always wanted to try this, and never seemed to have time when I still had dragons.

As for the Mexican Petunias, do a search for borderview bearded dragons, and he has some WONDERFUL info on his site (Bill Mears) about what is and is not edible.

And for a last note, this will probably be moved to the bearded dragon discussion forum.

Hope I've helped,
Jennifer
