Hatchling Leopard Geckos

[kevyn]

This is no doubt a very basic question but what is the best substrate to use for hatchling Leos? Thanks.

Paper Towel

Yup paper towel is the best thing to house leos on. Hatching or adults.

paper towel for the young'in and your choice of a few substrates for the adults.

[Bartman]

Just stay away from sand as always :)

i keep my leos on half carpet half tile.

I use no substrate for neonates to avoid food hiding. I do provide hides made of a folded piece of paper, food and water bowl. These are made of small lid and a cut marg container

Thanks guys. I'm used to dealing with giant pythons, not extremely small lizards. I've got a friend that breeds Leopards, and he gave me a pair of his hatchlings. Very cute. One's a normal and the other a jungle, but I can't tell the difference. They're cute, and amazingly small. We're looking forward to watching these guys grow.
