because your leo could eat some of it and become impacted and it could die and yea i would change if i was you. i use reptile carpet and that is good you can also use paper towel.

yeah I would get the sand out of there ASAP. you can use something like repti carpet or shelf liner. I like the shelf liner because its really cheap, they have it everywhere and its easy to clean. Thanks

Deff get the sand out. When I first got my leos, I had sand too, but then I came here so I could learn more form the expierenced.

Also tile works too. ^.~

I use repti carpet though. =D ((For now atleast. >.> =D))
