According to what I read it's not just being on sand that causes impaction...otherwise there wouldn't be too many leos in the wild...lol It's eating sand, which happens when they eat on sand. So if you can keep them from eating on the sand (and make sure they get all the nutrients they need with mineral, vitamin, and calcium powder so they don't lick the sand for that), they should be able to be on as much sand as you like. That's what makes sense to me anyway from what I read...
