Default Leopard Gecko Viv - Redone

Finally got around to redoing my leo's vivarium. Collected stones from beach and thoroughly cleaned them. The wood was found on beach, i know ive used sand but ive made and read many a post on here regarding the topic and have made a personal informed decision regarding its usage.

Anyway, hope you like it, Scylla seems to.







Finally Scylla enjoying it.

Viv looks good but as mentioned calci sand isnt ideal as it can cause your leos to become impacted. Maybe better off using slate / lino tiles or kitchen towel?

Anyway, viv looks awesome

No it hasnt, ive spoken to various reptile specialists i trust and gathered opinions on here and decided to use it. Im fully aware of the possible consequences but im not going to deprive my leo a substrate she can dig in just because of a few cases of impaction. By all means if my leo dies from impaction everyone can say 'i told you so' until then i cant see any problem.
