I am going to get two baby leopard geckos...?

Question

would it be ok if i used paper towels for the bottom while they are babies?

Answer 1

yes deffinatley

Answer 2

i have 2 of them and i went to the pet store and bought a bag of sand for the bottom and they seem to love it

Answer 3

That would actually be best!

Babies are at a high risk of impaction then adults.

And when they are adults, use a reptile carpet, slate rocks, or some other form of substrate. You can even stick with paper towels if you would like!!

Answer 4

Never ever use sand this is what happens.

a leopard gecko autopsy read the captions.

Paper towels are good. Non adhesive shelf liner is ok. And tiles are great. They carry heat well.

Answer 5

OK, and really beneficial.

No risk of impaction, no risk of catching a claw/ripping a toe on the different "cage mats" they have out.

I know breeders who only use papertowels.

Cheers.
