Different people/care sheets will tell you different things, but I've seen numerous people having sand as a substrate for geckos. I've also learned to ask different people & research different sources as there is a lot of conflicting advice being given both online & by pet shop staff etcQuote:

Don't want to scare you but is the water heated at all? A friend of mine lost his monitor when for some reason it couldn't get out of it and caught hypothermia
