I have no idea where leopard gecko's really live in the wild. But don't they live in deserts or at least places with sand. I always hear that sand is bad for them, but do they mass die in the wild because of impaction. Like I said I have no clue whatsoever just acting a question.

I'm totally fine with keeping fish and reptiles in unnatural environments but a leopard gecko in a plastic box with paper towels just seems boring and downright boring for the gecko. Wouldn't say a 20 long with some sand and some fake plants and such be better for them and for the one actually keeping them then a plastic box with a blue lid and a hide which is another plastic container flipped over with paper towels as the substrate?

Just wondering guys, I've always wondered this.

Anyone else?
