My new terrariun

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Some people doesn't like sand as substrate (including me), but here is very hard to find some different substrate to fit with the natural look...maybe i'll change soon...
 
It's true, some people like it and some don't. I've used sand in my leopard gecko tanks for 15 years now and I've never had a problem with it. You just have to clean it a lot and replace it every few months. You also should provide a humid retreat for your gecko to help with shedding if using sand. But I don't recommend sand for babies or juvie's.
 
all my hatchlings stayed in plastic shoeboxes with misted paper towels.Yeah all my breeders were on sand for years no problems.Baby leos are mad.Screechers if you mist them ,man i miss those days.
 
You are rigth, in fact, it is cost and bennefit...I don't know your favorite substrate, but I tink sand is "more natural" than newspaper, and is as ship as...
Just one comment, I bet all my money that there are sand areas in leo's natural occurence area...

You're absolutely right. My one friend who is a Marine was in Afghanistan for a year in '04. He has a photo of a huge, one eyed male Leopard Gecko he found. He said they were all over the place under flat pieces of rock. Oh, and he said there was plenty of sand there too. :p Loose and packed. The mountain sides are very rocky with loose rocks and he said the dust and sand gets into everything.
