If you are going to use sand make sure it is calcium sand or clean play sand, you don't need much 1-2 inches is fine. Their is a lot of debate on this out there as beardies have been known to swallow the sand and impact themselves (not be able to go to the bathroom) and die. If you want to avoid this possibility use a solid substrate such as Repti carpet or ceramic tile

Where is the correct place to put a heating pad in a bearded dragons cage?

I would not advise a heating pad because when it gets too hot it can burn your bearded dragon's sensitive belly. A heat lamp is enough. There is one more lamp that simulates artificial sunlight you need too (i forget what it is called at the moment) but there is no need for a heating pad. Just, depending on your bearded dragon's size, get the correct size heating lamp. Ask your local pet store owner or bearded dragon breeder what lamp size is best for him/her.
