Arrow Substrate Poll

figured i would ask the real question...since its already out there. for the record... i used to use vitasand as a substrate for my breeding and laying cages but now i use paper towels only. the only negative thing i found with this is meal worms tend to escape between the layers of paper towel making more difficult for the geckos to find them.

I like stainless steel, it has such a cozy feel for my leo's
(Makes me feel warm & fuzzy all over)

I find thumbtacks provide the greatest traction.

I appreciate the topic . . .

. . . but I don't want to turn this into a KS deal. This has been beat to death. I use paper towels because I'm lazy . . .

Once I clear out a few geckos - I will use Calci Sand on the others - and it will glow and I will have a black light on them because it looks cool.

And they will live for another 20 years.

agreed. i figured this could serve as reference to kill the question all together. if anything, it shows that there is no ONE answer to this question and gives newcomers to leopard geckos a guage to go by in choosing thier own substrate.

EDIT= "if anything is shows..." to "if anything, it shows..."

Lightbulb OK, OK!

After long and hard studies, checking literaly thousands of threads & posts. After consulting with the top breeders in the world, and traveling to Afganistan and checking out what substrate Osama use's. Hundreds and Hundreds of tedious, labor intinsive hours. And with my own personal experiance of trying to live on each "test" material! ( thats right one week on each type, I still have sand in places I won't mention) I have come to the conclution that this is the very best solution for this huge problem!

EDIT: Did you know Rubbermaid has human size clear plastic containers? Well there not really clear, I can barely see out of mine...is it supposed to be so hot and humid in here?

Overton...i think trying to see things from the geckos perspective has driven you over the edge...LOL!

hopefully you remembered to drill holes in the box before climbing in and closing the lid.
