I reccomend using jungle mix. It isn't to hard to clean, and it holds humidity well.

I am not a fan of loose substrates but Jungle Mix is prob one of the safer things to use besides just leaving the bottom bare. If and when you use loose substrate I recommend using bowls to feed the geckos. This way crix are not lost or hiding in the cage and there is no accidental ingestion of substrate for missed strikes. Best of luck .
