jam Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 I have heard pumice sand is a good substrate for bearded dragon tanks when they are older and just wondering if anyone knows about it and where to puchase in nz? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave+Amy Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 I know you can purchase big bags from most plant stores. I think its about $10 for 10kg. Iv been told that pumice sand holds moisture quite well and slowly releases it (good for locust breeeding), however this mite mean that it could hold the dragons urine and start to smell over time.
