@MRKiwiBirdzzz

depends on shape of sand particles (digestible or not for reptile in case). Only use sand if you're sure what type it is

Everyone's such an uncle tom-wannabe with their "no sand!" (cu's they read it on the internet, and now they think they appear educated by posting "no sand" on youtube) Experienced breeders use sand sometimes, despite it's rep. It comes down to age and behaviour of gecko as well as type of sand. It's not a black or white issue ppl

Sand is a no-no

The temps should be 90 degrees on the hot side and about.80 on the cool side and it is.not a good idea to use sand at all if anything use reptile carpet or paper towel

What should the temperature be

Didn't another of your videos completely contradict this video? I think that both the one for substrates and housing did.

Sand is not always bad like she said just wait till they are a little bigger and TRY it, it can cause impaction but I have had sand in my terrarium for 2 years
