Leopard Geckos - The Great Substrate Debate
I know this has been argued over on other posts, and I'm opening pandora's box by posting this, but I'm interested in seeing what the percentages work out at for substrates used for leopard geckos by other keepers on this forum. This poll applies to ADULT geckos only.
My predictions are that play sand and wood chips will come out on top, but I may be wrong of course! Hannah

ive never really considered keeping my baby on a different substrate. i think it would be best to keep her on what she is used to though as dont want to unsettle her. what substrate is the healthiest for her
