Yeah, should be fine, it's what I use for mine, although be careful when feeding, maybe consider hand feeding if you don't already

ive used all three of the exo terra sand, i find the black to be the worst as sticks to my hands alot. i'm using the red one at the moment, it's a nice color and by far the nicest feeling one they make. the yellow one is good too, it's a really nice natural colour.

hope this helps

ooo, using river bed sand = bad idea

leos are desert creatures therefore they should be on desert sand.

personally i wouldnt use sand for anything.. i know a few people that keep leos on fish tank gravel though which is probably what i would use if i had leos.
