Mine is in the middle of the living room and I am there almost all day. Like I said the only thing I do feed in the cage are meal worms and my leos usually eat them in the feeding bowl. I have never seen them eat the sand when they eat either. I do feed crickets and things they lunge for in a sep. plastic container and will continue to do so until the baby is over 5" if I do not remove the younger leo. However, I firmaly believe in keeping animals as natural as possible as it seems to reduce stress without the obvious possible problems with sand. I kept my rats on real grass as well. I am watching them carefully for symtoms and am a certified vet assistant (although I do not work at the vet anymore) so getting vet opinions and help is not a problem.

Anyways, thank you for your concern everyone. It is nice seeing people looking out for the well being of pets and other animals. I am sorry this turned into a sort of debate on substrates.
