if you're going to be so disparaging of the other posters here, why bother posting?

we don't 'regurgitate' everything we hear. I know for a FACT that sand kills leos (look at the pictures in that link I posted) and it's not a natural substrate for them. Plus, sand is expensive, absorbs the ammonia from the gecko's urates, and it's dusty. If you want an impacted, dull-colored leo, go right ahead and use sand.

Tile is a WHOLE lot cheaper, lasts longer, and there's not one iota of risk involving ingestion. Even paper towels (my substrate of choice) are a better substrate than sand.
