Hey check out my Bell albino leopard gecko's setup! It is pretty sweet!

Is that sand?

Oh boy, here we go again.... I can feel another "Sand WILL kill your gecko" thread coming on.

Nice looking setup Gr8Reptile, and a fine Bell as well.

Yeah it be sand. He has been on the stuff for about 5 years. Never seen him eat any either. Thanks I received her from friends, she's about 7 I think. I've only owned her for 2 though.

I wont even bother.

Sorry BrassMonkey, didn't mean any disrespect. I guess it's to the point where the whole sand argument is like beating a dead horse with a stick. There are so many differing opinions on the subject.

Some people have had great success with Leopards on sand (I was one of those), and others haven't.

and others haven't.

This is what settles it for me, personally. I'm not a fan of leaving things like this up to hoping I'm lucky.

And it all goes back to the type of sand.
Just do your research and all will be ok.

I also have had great success with sand...when they are adults. Juvies I have had some impactions but not many. I find they prefer the Excavator clay substrate because their burrows hold up nicely.
