my new adult tangerin may be impacted.i just got him and my new adult girl friday.well they have not ate any thing yet.besides that i found what looks to be blue poop in my tangeerine's stool.i broke it in half and it was hard and blue chrystal's no white what so ever. dark on the outside?,but blue chrystal like on the inside? the guy that soldem to me said they have been on play sand scince he got'em. so i have'em on the same but i filter it 3x before i lay it down.any ideas 2 what this smurf poop means

if i use paper towel or newspaper i have to take every thing out including each gecko,replace paper and put everything back so is there another substrate that will not cause impaction?i need something a little easier,scince i have now 6 leo's.

It's as simple as: Any Loose Substrate = Increased chance of impaction

You won't find many people on here that use any kind of loose substrate. The popular safe substrates are slate tile, repti-carpet, papertoweling & non-adhesive shelf liner. I myself use a combo of repti-carpet & slate tile in all 5 of my setups.

ok i have cleaned out all enclosures and i am now using paper towls witch i will probably use forever now.
