There are many that would argue the topic of suitable substrates (floor of the habitat)back and fourth. I am bold enough to DARE anyone to find just cause why newspaper on the bottom, and paper towel on top is not the BEST substrate for a Bearded Dragon.
Hygiene wise I believe this to be your best bet.
If you are planning to BREED that is another story entirely.
I use newspaper and paper towels period.
The advantages are FANTASTIC.
I can sleep at night and not worry that my Beardie is impacted with SUBSTRATE. To me that is one less weight off of my shoulders.
My newspaper & paper towel substrate doesn't clump or harbor bacteria.
Remember by process of "elimination" so to speak you can diagnose a lot faster and treat a lot faster.

This is one of my set up's.
