80% of their enclosure is slate and rocks and shells. They are of appropriate size (around 7". They get mealies in dish. They have calcium in a dish and with their mealies.



I have kept full grown geckos on all calci-sand in the past and had no problems, but wanted to set up a non granular substare when I re-set up this tank. I don't think a sandbox for them to poop in is going to be a problem, given leo behaviors and their eating setup and size. However I am watching their poop to make sure they aren't ingesting it, not a grain of sand in it.
