Can I use excavator substrate for my leopard gecko?
i would not recommend it.
No I wouldn't. The substrate i recommend is reptile carpet. Its easy to wash....... comfortable....... and Light and easy! And your Leopard gecko cant be harmed by it. But Excavator substrate is cool. They can burrow in it but what if you want to get your leopard gecko out but you cant because he is in the burrow? Or if he gets stuck. These are questions you want to think about it. Really i dont have anything against that substrate........soooooo I guess it would be fine to use. But in my opinion i would use Reptile carpet. I hope my answer helped you! IF you have any questions feel free to contact me!
Any type of loose substrate for a leopard gecko runs the risk of impaction, I would not recommend it for the safety of your gecko. Reptile carpet once full grown or paper towels or tile can be used.
