I'd have suggested not to use sand AT ALL, but Graz seemed set on it. As I said I use paper towell at the m, much safer, easy to clean/replace, fab! The only reason I mentioned play sand is coz I knew calcisand was a def NONO! Thanku for lettin me know that Playsand too is a def NONO. I'll know for the future, altho I don't think I'd ever use sand for any of my reps for peace of mind.nuttyaboutgeckos said:no no no dont use playsand.iv said this to about 100 people on this forum alone.play sand is suitable for kids not leos at all.there is way to much silica in it for a leo to digest safley.Check the leopard gecko manual it eaven states it in there under the substrate section.people think its safe as kids are given it and can eat it but leos cant.I agree never use calcisand either.this is a stupid idea to make calcisand in the first place.You can buy reptile sand from any good petshop who specialise in exotics but please guys dont use playsand!!!! :shock:
no hun didnt mean you.just meant what spike brit wrote.I know loads of people who say that for leos but i cant beleave how daft some people can be about using it for a leo.I mean i understand if your a beginer and are unsure what to use.I think paper towel is the best choice really as its easy to change and more hygenic too.plus it never hurts to be on the safe side eh?I'd have suggested not to use sand AT ALL, but Graz seemed set on it.

Only mantioned play sand as it has been mentioned by a few peple that it is safe for reptiles. Personally i use reptile sand as to me it seems the best option and has cool colours lol. Also, i said i havnt kept leo's so i was just going on the general concencious from what i had read here.no hun didnt mean you.just meant what spike brit wrote.I know loads of people who say that for leos but i cant beleave how daft some people can be about using it for a leo.I mean i understand if your a beginer and are unsure what to use.I think paper towel is the best choice really as its easy to change and more hygenic too.plus it never hurts to be on the safe side eh?![]()
