Rocks

[Freemankind]

Is there any other loose substrates, other then sand, that are larger in size that the gecko would see as too big to eat? Like tiny pebbles or those aquarium rocks. I only ask because i was going to tile my cage but i have a few gaps and am kind of reluctant to put sand in there if they are gunna go after it either way. I have some Sand and some of that crushed walnut shell stuff they say to use for beardies. I can tile about 85% of the base its just around the edges about 1.5 inchs all the way around. Any suggesgestions? If i use sand should i go for playground sand? so theres no calcium temptations.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

A few of the members here that have tile, custom cut the piesces and then fill in the gaps with play sand. You might find out for sure if you type tile in the search box.

the aquarium rocks would be a bad idea as they could pinch off toes

no place near me cuts tile unless i buy like enough to tile a room. so i go the closest i could find.

I got a small tile cutter for ~$20 at home depot. It only does straight lines, but I was tiling a 40 gallon and hoping to be tiling a 50, so it was worth paying that little for the right tool for the job. Plus having full tiling makes cleaning sooo much easier than a loose substrate.

I have tile and just just cut the tiles with a saw, there is no gaps really except for maybe 1/32 in.
