sand, sand, and more sand

I've been doing this for 6 yrs. Even had my first pair of juvis on desert sand and they are alive and kick'n to this day. Switched to play sand as I got more and more geckos. I now place hatchlings and juvi's on racks with papertowels and adults are either on sand in tanks or in sweater boxes lined with newspaper and a sand box for laying.
Speaking of sand I need to go to bed. :sleeping:

Anyone that has been posting and hanging out on the ksnake forum probably knows my opinion on sand. I used playsand for years as a substrate for my adult breeders, and they did fine, no problems. I also fed a diet of crickets exclusively (occasional pinky mouse) back then. Sand is not the evil killer of leopard geckos.

I feel like a broken record now. Back to feeding geckos:D
 
I agree with Kelly. I have had geckos on calci sand for over two years(adults only). I know thats not long, but they have never had any problems. I use papertowels now though, because it is way easier to clean; especially if you have a lot of geckos.

I can assure you, Robin is far from impacted.

I know who to call when I need some sand blasting done

. . . I guess I can chime in. I have used calci sand (which I still use for display animals at my campus church) - Free Flo (like Jodi) - paper towels and nothing.

They all work great. I never had problems, and I used to feed crickets exclusively.

I don't know - it feels KS'y to me to debate this. Terry's a good guy - probably didn't know that this sand deal has been going on for ages.

But what the heck do I know - my tiger stripes didn't start to lay until I sold them to Terry. So maybe he's the man. I'm certainly not.
 
ahhhh

Robin..........you have a little bit of sand on the corner of your mouth..........right there...yep...ok......alright..........you got it.....!
