I guess he tested it in small bowl with water. I've seen such a test on the youtube.

no? i dont think what i wrote even suggested that... i tested it with a bit of water and with the amount of eco earth a gecko might consme when striking for a cricket, i tested it in a old plastic testube, i dont use eco earth as its harder to clean but its not at all dangerous until you let it get mouldy, and i doubt i could feed my leo or any leo something like dirt, they usually hnt off movement, and they know what dirt is they know its in no way food

Yeah sorry i read it fast and thought thought that way for some reason. I feel that eco earth is the safest loose substrate, but still need to avoid digestion as much as you can. Which is why i prefer tile, no way to digest it accidentally so you dont have to worry about it. Sorry again.
its ok, at least you didnt get agressive immediatly like most do when they skim read,
but ye i agree, even though if it doesnt create impaction it can grow mould, bacteria etc etc so i would generally keep away anything like that, im going to move from reptile to tiles soon to minimize germs

This is my terrarium from the bird's perspective. As you can see, he rarely even steps on the eco earth. And I'm not afraid of germs too much. Furthermore I find it more sanitary than the famous reptile carpet which I personally hate. I tried it and Mr. Spanky several times stuck his teeth in it. So I wouldn't advise anyone to use it. By the way, he eats 7 medium sized crickets a day, isn't it too much for such a small gecko?

Hello,
so here is a new member of our gecko family, I present you.... Plomo :king:
He is a bell albino, 50% het radar (his eyes are red in the darkness).
And this is his enclosure.
Mrs. Spanky (yeah, it's a girl) is doing fine I guess. She is eating very little, but she is 1 and a 1/2 year old and weights about 95 grams, so I think she is not starving.

WOW, she is well-proportioned! She seems "just right"! Do you know how long she is?
How is Plomo these days?

Hard to tell, never measured her, she never got tamed.
Plomo is always just lying around, relaxing, her legs pointing everywhere, she doesn't give a damn. Pretty tame too. I just weighted her, she is 86g, pretty big for a female as well. She is about 1 year old, +- one month.
And this is the newest member of our family, haven't named her yet. Super snow, possible galaxy.

I wouldn't let her get any bigger. You know what they say about too much fat.

She eats about 4 juvenile roaches every cca 3 days. So I woulnd't say I overfeed her.

Plomo looks so plump! It makes sense for her personality (from what I've read here so far.)

And good news: I got a male (I wouldn't be able to keep two). (She was supposed to be female according to her breeder)
