The baby should really be on paper towels now (safer) but once it is over 6 inches you can put it back on sand if you like. Just know you are taking risks with sand though (my adult leos had issues on it), and if you want your leo to be as safe as possible then don't use it.

you may drive without a seat belt all yourlife and never get in accidnet or if you do never get realy hurt.

but one day you may be driving along get hit by a semi and you come in the ER and we can talk about while we put ya back togther.

The baby leo really should be on paper towels, Reptibark is very bad for them. Also I highly recomend not going with sand. Your leo might be ine with it but if he gets impacted I can tell you its a long road to recovery and not very fun to travel. An alternative to paper towels would be slate or tiles. :-]
