Default Leopard gecko habitat

Hi, i am getting two Leos and wanted to know what there natural enviroment was i.e desert, muddy, grassy ect... and if so what substrate should i use that is fine for them, yet still looks natural to there surroundings i.e not woodchippings with desert decor if you know what i mean. Would love some pics!!

leopard geckos are not from sandy deserts. they are from arid rocky deserts in pakistan, afganistan. in the wild the ground would be hard, baked, compacted sand and dirt with rocks scattered about.

If you are going to go down this road, just make sure you provide good hides, they can look natural.

I have 2 hides in my snake viv;



Here's a close up of them;





Good luck
