Rescued two bearded dragons recently. Brother and sister but they don't get along. One came in a 55 gallon and one came in a 20 gallon long. I have recently aquired a 150 gallon with a center partition. Whats better for flooring if you will. Sand carpet or? Any other suggestions are welcomed. Thank you

Cypress Mulch is the best flooring/substrate for snakes(ball python more specifically)... but...
Apparently beardies eat the wood though especially when they are young (You don't want them eating the substrate and wood remains humid, not good for beardies).
Inkless newspaper or seed base (digestible) substrate would be your best options (for as far as I've read on the subject).

tile is best. i built my own cage. i use a divider to split the cage when my dragons are not getting along. sand and loose substrate is bad for dragons b/c it could block they bowels when they accidently eat it. the vet i take mine to says that newspaper or old towels work great. i found that the tile (no grout) is every easy to clean up and hold the undercage heat well.
