Leopard Gecko questions

[andyjs]

The All Ohio show in Columbus happens once a month and usually has a pretty good variety of nice leos.

That's the one I was gonna go to if I can convince my dad to drive me up there.

What's a good substrate?

I have some juvenile leopard geckos for sale that half tangerine. PM me if you're interested.

a good d substrate is ceramic tile like in floors it is cheap easy to clean and disperses heat well, do your research a lot before getting a leo, they make good easy pets but its best to get it right the first time

I've heard sand is bad... True?

And vicious fish, I'd buy one but i dont even hav the tank yet.

Sand is bad for juvenile geckos. But can be ok for adults.

 

[latshki]

yea and it has to be natural sand not that pet store crap
Im kind of a believer in dirt rather then sand and I keep quite a few of my animals in good ol dirt that I got from my back yard
i am lucky and my dirt here is bright red but I like it its a low dust level packs down extremely well and hold a burrow good

Yup, I use a mixture of 1 part sand, 1 part dirt for my adult's substrate. The babies/juvenile are on paper towels.

are leopard geckos commonly sold as adults, juvies, hatchilings etc?
