Hey,
I know this topic has been brought up before, and i don't mean to start any long drawn out conversations concerning sand. I know sand has its pros and cons. But... If I was to use sand as a substrate, what would be the BEST choice? I have heard of people using Calci-Sand, Repti-Sand, and Play Sand. Which is the best bet?
Thanks,
Chris (Oh, and yes my Leo's are adults)
