Yes. Definitely. It works much better than anything else out there for them. AFT's like much more humidity than Leopard geckos and the mulch holds humidity. Since placing mine on Mulch I have had no problems what so ever. I have my breeding colony and a hold back from last year on it.

As a matter of fact, I have all my higher humidity animals on mulch. Since doing this, I have had no shedding problems what so ever.
