The best thing that you can do for this gecko is take it to a qualified herp. vet. If indeed it is impacted, they will be able to tell with a simple xray.

I've never been to Afghanistan, but my bestfriend's cousin is a marine and he has told me about being in Aghanistan and Iraq. He said that the sand is very fine sand. Calci-Sand is horrible for leopard geckos because their GI Tract (how long it takes to digest their food) is short, meaning that the granuals of sand that is infused with calcium does not have time to break up. I remember a year or so ago that I read an "experiment" with Calci-sand in which they put Calci-sand in water, 24 hours later it turned into a block of "cement like sand".
