I use ground walnut shells for my leopard geckos. I have since I
first got them four years ago. Is there a reason I should start
worrying now? I've never noticed them eating any more of it
than what sticks to any crickets I might drop from the hemostat,
as I feed them by hand.

Hi-
Don't go jumping through hoops rearranging things. Everyone has their own preferences.
I don't like bed a beast. It breeds small flies and looks sloppy. I like a soil
substrate, but it is of little use for leopards, since they tend to destroy most
plants, which is my only reason for using soil. Sand works well, and I think if your
leo is "packed stem to stern" with sand, you are not paying close enough attention to
your leopard. (don't send the flames to the list)
Don't change something that has worked for you for the past four years, just because a
list member sends a one sentence criticism. We don't know it all, even though we may
like to think so. Me included.
I'm sure there is a horror story to go along with every substrate.
Go with what you know works, if you're not sure, use your instincts along with the
advice you feel makes sense to you. Taken with a thoughtful grain of salt.
Later
Jason
