calcium sand is the worst possible sand out there,if they lick it they dont get any calcium they get sand, its not digestable so they cant absorb the calcium, if you want a nice substate thats safe and looks like sand, go to a supermarket and look for "Wheatena" in the oatmeal section, i use it and never had a problem with it, i strongly suggest it, think about your leos life..not the way the tank looks..

I definately agree w/ Medievel about the sand. Whether it looks nice or not, it IS a risk. And while your geckos may not die from it, they easily could, and you shouldn't risk that just so your tank looks nicer. just get some tile, i think it's better looking anyways, and it's much easier to clean.

sorry Fadetolemons I don't need your help I like my leopard gecko tanks just the way they are.Medieval_Geckos already said I shouldn't use sand and i don't need you to say anything about it we are not even on that subject anymore so mind your ****** business thank you. sorry if i offened you but mind your business. I don't see any of your leopard geckos when you get some nice looking come talk to me but until then shut up thank you

what the hell are you jumping on his back for when he is trying to save ur leos life... no matter what u say its not going to change the fact that sand, even calcium, is a risk to your leos life. I think that is a important subject and you would too if you care about your leo ( not saying you dont)But, i know the sand may look great and u dont give a damn just wanted to give u my 2 cents.
