I have an adult female leopard gecko. My current setup has a slate bottom tank with coconut fibre substrate in the hot hide which she seems to love as she digs around and sleeps in it. However, I asked a friend to purchase more for me, and they bought an Exo Terra Coconut Husk brick instead of a fibre brick. Is husk safe? The brick looks as though it has larger pieces (about 1-2cm long) of coconut husk and I'm worried about my gecko getting scratched or punctured by it. I'm not too worried about ingestion, as she doesn't eat anything unless it moves and I feed her from a bowl.
Does anyone have experience with leopard geckos on coconut husk instead of fibre? I can buy fibre if it's not safe.
