Yeah. I get that a lot. I've owned 4 Leo's, including kakarot and none of them are the sand. Also, that's part of the reason we feed every couple of days, so the sand that she may ingest can pass safely
Also, I do use calc sand. And I completely remove everything and thoroughly sift and turn the sand about every 6 months. Though I think I need to change the sand out completely and put in fresh
Again, never had an issue. I monitor them carefully when I first put it in. If in the first 3 days they don't just eat the sand, I know they're good and not stupid. Lol
Sadly I can't do all that, mostly financial reasons. But she likes the fake desert plants and the rocks. I put rough edged rocks in to help her shed and one large flat one to put her house on. It's right on the undertank heat pad.
I love her. We got her for me when I ear REALLY depressed and she helped to bring me out of my room and makes me smile more, cause she's always smiling at me
I got my first leo, chekita, on a whim. I had ordered a Mexican red leg sling and had a tank from a previous tarantula. But they had the Leos on sale for 20$
