Please do not use Calci Sand (especially if it is for your Leo's).

Calci sand is evil, it actively encourages the animals to eat it, and they then get impacted and die. It is not digestible at all despite what the manufacturers say.

if you really want to use sand of any sort then atleast put it into a small tub somewhere so they can dig away, dont use it for the whole of the bottom

I used to but that was becasue I used to feed my adult beardie out of the cage in a smalelr tank, then put her back in afterwards
