i have bought some excavator clay burrowing substrate for my leopard gecko but was wondering would it have a risk of impaction or make the food hard to see for it?
The substrate you're asking approximately is probable no longer what you think of it somewhat is..you combination it with 7 cups of water, shape the way you desire it to look and then it drys and gets annoying. it is not something you may scoop poo out of surely like Calci-sand.( which by using how is made for Geckos) Calcium sand is by using a procedures the perfect substrate to apply for smaller lizards, because it somewhat is digest-in a position and could no longer reason impaction. Mulch's or any variety of timber chips are no longer sturdy and should no longer be used as1 little products swallowed might properly be the death of your animal. in case you have under no circumstances owned one before, i does no longer merely say i'm unlikely to apply that because of the fact my pal,( who additionally does not comprehend something approximately geckos instructed me it became undesirable) properly i hate to assist you comprehend this yet a majority of folk united statesCalci-sand for there Geckos. Take this suggestion or no longer its your animal....
I wouldn't. The gecko builds the tunnels which I'd worry wouldn't support the weight. What if those collapse while the gecko is inside? It would also be hard to clean and requires alot (I heard 100lbs) for a good cover. I prefer slate tiles over sand.
