Not another sand debate lol, like I said before, for some people it takes a dead animal before they will feel something is not safe, not me..
Hale said:I know sand itself is not the best choice for geckos as when they feed, they may ingest sand as well, and have impaction. But I heard that calcium sand is supposed to be ok. The reason I ask is because I need something on the bottom of the tank because I'm using a heating pad, and I don't think paper towel will be enough to keep it from being too hot on the bottom, even if I layer it a dozen times.
If it is not, and you have a better solution that can work with the heating pad, that would be great.
*edit*
This link that caught my attention, it says calcium sand is ok, and so does the bag...

Great post, dont think I could of said it better myself:main_thumbsup:rhino43grr said:tile costs less than calci sand anyway, why insist on using sand when tile is easier, safer and cheaper? i just don't understand some people, especially those who intentionally go against the grain to try to get attention... when 90% of the people here say sand is one of the worst substrates why do all the sand users instantly band together with their "i've used sand for X years with zero problems so there."

What I don't understand is how the new person above me, can state his opinion, when almost EVERYONE on this site says no. Why? I say 100% no on the sand. company's say anything to move products.
