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 Jay
