Bearded Dragon ??

I am a small bearded...I am building a outdoor house so they can be in the sun and the concrete gets to hot for there feet...I cant think of what to put over the concrete that wont get to hot...do you have any Ideas...Thank you!
Answers:
tree bark works well, gravel, assorted rocks, or just plain ol dirt, but wahs it first, (pain in the ***) also there are special substrates for beardos like crushed walnut shells, and other things, if it is for theiur outside cage (for sunning) and not their main cage, you can use just about anything, newspaper, pine chips, saw dust, whateves
just dont use calci sand, they eat a little bit with every bite, and overload thier systems with calcium and obstruct their bowels with sand.. no fun
paper is probably best, so you can clean up the poo in a milisecond

Mulch or sand. Anything terrain that you'd put in their exhibit could be used. Even a piece of cloth if you'd be willing to wash it everyday.

Newspaper. It will keep the floor cool and makes it very easy to clean.

A thick layer of sand would be ideal. At least 2-3 inches of reptile-grade sand. I hope you're using a screen of some type for walls and roof, if you use glass or plastic you'll boil them alive.
I should warn you, bearded dragons should not be kept outdoors. The temperatures are too variable, they should not be exposed to wind, rain, or snow, and they can easily pick up fleas, ticks, or other parasites from living outside. There is also a chance that a large predator or stray dog could break into the enclosure and kill your pet. Unless you are going to sit outside with them and only use this as a play area under supervision, and keep them inside in a separate enclosure, than you need to scratch this idea altogether. It's very dangerous for a reptile to live outdoors that way.

Depending on how hot it will be you might want to consider using Repto Grass or Newspaper. Sand might get to hot. Be sure the Beardie has access to water and a shady place to get out of the Sun.
