Sand is Silica...completely different from degraded rock which is usually Basalt, Limestone...sandstone..granite and associated conglamorites.... Leopard geckos live in rocky terrain..surrounded by hard packed ground in arid conditions. Its a desert yes..but not a sand desert. There are numerous types of deserts...Not just the ones full of sand. What you get with degraded rock..is rock dust..not sand...Sand is silica..which means its related to quartz...a mineral...as far as I know anyway. So now, Sand is not naturally occuring in most of the leopard geckos range....and even if it were...they may never even touch it...Preferring rock outcrops and rough terrain.
