[Next Level Geckos]

something that isnt loose

 

[geckdude97]

okay thanks!

I would definetley say paper towels because obviously there are impaction concerns with the other substrates but also the reptile bark might raise humidity too much as well as anything like Eco earth will raise humidity

currently i am using walnut shells and my leos do fine on that. also i use paper towels because i have nothing else to use...

 

[yoyofanatic]

paper towels all the way!!

 

[Cody]

I say Paper towels for juvis/hatchlings, and paper towels or slate/tiles for adults.

 

[vctkiller]

Paper towel and newspaper

I use repti-carpet because I think it looks better, but if you don't feel like cleaning paper towel all the way. I use paper towels while my carpet is drying from a wash.

Say no to sand and particle substrates!

Walnut shells are no better then sand...

there has been a lot of threads like this one personally I use sand - DONT use calci-sand though !!

 

[Ehatcher]

i agree with some that sand will not hurt the gecko if the husbandry is spot on... but I will never use sand again. After taking 45 minutes to clean my sand tank and disinfect it compared to 5 minute clean and disinfect with paper towels, its a no brainer!

I use tile...

Looks the best in my opinion

repti carpet and paper towels.

 

[Yamori]

I use paper towel for hatchlings ,sand and peat moss mix for adults. Never had a problem.

This is an argument waiting to happen.

I use large size aquarium gravel. Not that rainbow or blue crap but natural looking stuff. It looks awesome and is easy to clean.
