I know sand is a no-no. But for a display enclosure, is something like 50% bed-a-beast type material and 50% sand going to be okay? It packs really tight and dries hard, so I can't imagine a leo ingesting it...

I'm guessing between 9 months and a year, she's a rescue. She's full-grown, though.

It's probably ok then, but still, I just find paper towels as substrate to be
a) easy to clean/cheap/disposable
b) while not quite as nice as sand to look at, they're not unattractive
c) no possibility of ingestion of substrate

I bought a brick and mixed it with some really old sand, and I didn't like the way it dried. So I got some tile today to use instead. Fun, and definitely not eatable!
