Hi. I am currently the owner of seven leopard geckos, and I would like to get an AFT next year for my birthday. I have been reading caresheets to make sure I know everything about them. I am confused about the substrates that are being suggested though. I use only paper towels for my leos, because I am deathly afraid of impaction. I am planning on putting them all on tile as soon as I have the money. Do you have to use a bark type substrate? How many of you use it, and have you ever had any problems with impaction? Thnk you in advance for any help.
