One more suggestion

She does love her worms though

I wouldn’t use pure sand as a substrate

It’s very loose and easily swallowed by accident

When chasing a cricket

It’s a very gradual buildup

That can cause impaction

If you wanted you could do a sand mix

Sand/organic top soil sand/ ecoearth

Esc

It’s not a big deal

If you tong feed or bowl feedb

It avoids any risks

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

She hates tongs

ah

And she likes to chase her food

I spent a few months training my leopard and leachie gecko to tong feed insects

My banded and cave gecko refuse to

They’re way to shy

I’m hoping I can squeeze 20 years out of my leopard gecko

I got her at about 1-2 years old. She was under weight and was living on bark substrate. Once I gave her sand, she was soooo active

He has uvb/bioactive enclosure I monitor his weight weekly and give him a variety of diet

So the bitch better live 20 years

Or I will be severely disappointed

lol

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

Wow there

Okay

Uh

I highly advise against calci sand

A it’s highly unnatural b it’s the leading cause of impaction c it physically can’t be passed

It clumps up and gets stuck

Play sand from Lowe’s is safer lol

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

All my Leo's have loved rubbing into the sand and laying in it.

I get what you're saying. As I said, I get that a lot, but I am grateful that you haven't suggested that fucking carpet

lol no

It’s bacteria ridden

And looks ugly as hell

I hate solid substrates
