Default What Substrate do you use for Leopard Geckos?
Collecting a few for someone the weekend and will keep hold off them until I can deliver, just want to know what guys are using, I have had some before and I kept them on play sand, which is hard to find at this time of year.

I am considering using auboise, I am not after a debate on what to use, just what you are using or suggest.

Thanks

Sy

playsand is avaliable at argos, but its an "extra" product so they will have to order some in, mine took three days.

It's not the most attractive substrate I guess, but I use newspaper with my adults and kitchen towel for the babies...
