I use cage-carpeting for my dragon. I wouldn't suggest peet moss due to it's humidity that it causes. It could pose a threat and might cause respiratory problems in the long-run. Also, I'd be concerned if it was ingested. Anywho, there are other options that are better so go with them, lol.
P.S.- Cage carpeting looks nice, it's easy to clean, and it's pretty inexpensive. I use it for all my herps and its wonderful.

I used to use play sand but then i got a female off someone for cheep because it had soft jaw and her face looked "weird" to him. When i put her in my tank i noticed that sand started to stick to her mouth and i dont want her to get impacted, so im looking for something else that is cheap like a soil or sand that will digest in her belly if she takes some in.

bed a beast would be a good choice. it's not naturalistic for a desert but it might work. i use it for my leos that are over 6 inches and have never had an impactation problem from it.
if anyone else thinks this is a bad idea then please correct me.

My dragons nails have never gotten caught in the carpet. I find it a wonderful substrate and keeps things nice and tidy.

I have never used peat moss. Think it would hold too much moisture. I tried sand but thought it was too dusty. Now use repti-san. Get a 20lb bag from petsmart.

You could use unprocessed bran. I have seen some BD's on this and it looks pretty good. It's cheap and I don't think it would cause any impactation problems. You can get it at farm suppy stores and places like that.
