Wheat Bran

I have read on several sites of people using wheat bran as a substrate for their Dragon. They say that aside from keeping it dry, it is safe to use and wonderful. Anyone here ever used it?

Ok, after reading the threads I will not use it! I get the idea that it is sort of like heat rocks, some love them and others want them taken off the market. In Dundee's case I'll take the safer route and not chance it.

I am so proud to have a Bearded Dragon named after the mother, LOL. There is a big controversy over substrate in the reptile world. You will most likely get pros and cons on all substrates listed.

It seems there is a big controversy over just about everything in Bearded Dragon keeping!

Clyde, I considered that myself but after seeing how fast it molds in the meallies boxes, I went with kitchen paper.
