What are your opinions on keeping NA Coleonyx on sand? I have 1.2 Cvv that I am looking to put into a vivarium, and I am debating sand or paper towels. They have always been on paper towels, and are doing fine, but I am wondering how they would fair on a fine, jurrasic sand. Thanks

I only like loose sand if the animal has "snow shoe" adaptations, burrows in it, or lives with it.

I use sand in half of my desert bandedgeckos tank. The other half is reptile carpet. If you use a dish to feed them in that helps lower the risk of ingesting it.

fine white sand looks amazin in a coleonyx set up. try the zoomed one. it's worked great for me before.
never ever use silica sand! not for reptiles! big leos, beardies, and anything else big and you can get away with using kiddy play sand, but stick to a fine sand for your bandeds. Also, I'd keep anything smaller than a subadult on paper towels

I keep my Desert Bandeds on gravel:

I have used fine white sand in all of my Coleonyx set ups for years with no ill effects.
