You guys who have tiled tanks please chime in here. Today my Leo pooped and it had some play sand in it. Not alot of sand but there was some in there. I used the sand to fill in the cracks and I kept the sand below the surface. He would of had to put his face down against the tile then stick his tounge out to get the sand.
I don't know why he did this? He has calcium in a dish in his tank at all times, plus I offer food everyday. It just makes no sense. I'm keeping a close eye on him now. I felt his belly and he is nowhere near impacted, he ate 2 large crickets today also.
Just wondering if any of you who have used play sand has had a Leo ingest some of it. He is a adult 4 yr old about 9 1/2 inches long I'd guess around 60 grams in weight.
I got the play sand because I heard the calci sand was no good. I dust his food and keep a calcium dish in his tank so why would he lick the sand up and eat it? He doesn't hunt I hand feed him everytime.
He's not impacted I just don't know if anyone here who has a tile tank and play sand in the cracks has noticed any sand in their leos poop.
It wasn't alot of sand, there was way more poop then sand.
