Digestable
diggable

Bad
Molds/Fungus
Doesn't support any cage objects
Doesn't weardown nails leading to over long nails
Flamable
Grows bugs really well

Playsand

Good
Cheap $10-20 dollars for more than enough for a 50 gallon tank
(prices can really really vary)
Diggable
Wears down nail slowly but surely so the nails don't gow to long
Easy to clean
What Inland bearded dragons naturally live on
Not flamable

Bad
Can cause impaction but practically never does(calci sand has a
much higher impaction rate)
Can be exspensive
Heavy
