Can you put a gecko in sand?

Answer 1

You can put a gecko lizard in sand but you have to watch out because they like to dig in it and hide. Gecko lizards are small so when they dig in the sand and hide you wont be able to see it until a very long time.

Answer 2

Sand is the leading cause for impaction. Once the animal ingests sand, it can build up in the digestive tracks and the animal won't be able to pass it. Once impacted, most animals will not eat or drink due to the pain and this can lead to death. Most breeders do not reccomend loose substrates for this reason.

Breeders reccomend papertowel or slate tile for desert environments or just papertowel for tropical environments.

Answer 3

sand and if you are keeping the in a cage or one of those mini glass housez make sure to put a light over them they will die if not
