Hey everyone,

I'm planning to get a leopard gecko soon. I've already decided against using sand, and will use carpet if I need to, but a lot of other forums I checked out said the best substrate would be slate or porcelain tile.

My questions would be:
1. would they need to be sealed and if so, what sealant is safe?
2. is porcelain or slate better?
3. how would you prevent their toes from getting stuck in the cracks in the tiles?
4. if I were to use non-self-adhesive vinyl tile, would I still need to be worried about heat causing fumes to be emitted?

Feel free to comment, message me, or link me to other forums/articles.

Thanks in advance
