I am looking for a new substrate for my leopard geckos. They are presently on sand and I have encountered no problems yet. At my local home improvement store I can across two types of lime stone. One was a screening used in interlock driveways. It ranged in size from sand sized particles to 1/4" particles. THe other type was much like a fine gravel. Any dangers?

Probally not the best. Besides ingestion it is very drying to the skin. I work in an open pit limestone mine as a matter of fact. I have to put moistureizers in my bath every other night because of the drying qaulities of the darn stuff. You can't ever really get the dust washed off of it either. Would be really hard on there feet I bet too. I would check into slate tiles if you want to use something like stone.

How about slate or tiles instead? It's easy to clean and looks good.
