What substrate would you you use for leos in a rack system.

I don't really wanna keep them on kitchen towel (unless i have to). Just purely from an appearence thing. Plus my sister thinks its cruel and i don't particuarly want her on my back all the time

Are they youngsters ?
If so people wil tell you to stick with what ur doing :lol:
I would use playsand
When i kept mine, i used to keep them on playsand ... even when there were babys.
Never had any problems, same with beardies ..... even baby beardies, that i bred.

There are alsorts you can use:
Newspaper
Playsand
Beech chips (although they often get eaten and will cause problems)
corn cob (often gets eaten aswell and swells up in stomach)
Slate chips
Tiles
Lino
Bran

yeah ive got my current leos and fat tails on chips.

Probably go with kitchen towel at first and maybe, some of the non-breeders, moved to more attractive acommadations

But snakelover, im going for a heat strip over a third on the back, one per level all individually theremostated

Bran is good stuff, as it is dead cheap and gutloads the crikcets although you should gutload before hand. The only downside is when it gets wet :lol:

for leos i would use slate chips, or if you can get the slate tiles, looks really nice and is safe, easy to clean and is very natural.
