I switched to Repti-Sand. It is made of quartz and is very soft. I have no clue what Jurassic sand is made of. I wish I did. Something you said piqued an interest:
"Jurassic Reptile Sand has smooth granules. As we note even JRS has caused problems when accidentally ingested. Be certain to check out any potential sand you wish to use under a microscope. Sand often contains silica crystals which have pointy edges. Silica sand will accumulate in the gut. By the time problems are discovered it is too late to rectify them. " This would lead me to believe my little gecko is now doomed. She has ingested silica sand and I think a lot of it (relative to her size). I already mentioned that she passed a small quantity today. I hope she does it again. I guess all I can do now is wait. I will keep feeding her soft foods and I'll oil her up and give warm baths. It's one thing to lose a gecko purchased from a store but to lose one raised by my own little hands makes me a little more sad. (When I sell them, I don't know what happens to them so I just assume they are happy and healthy.) I hope she pulls through. As for the other spider geckos, I might just move to a feeding dish and save myself all the worry. Mike I'm so confused. Don't spider geckos LIVE on sand? _______________________________________________ Global Gecko Association http://www.gekkota.com Classifieds http://www.gekkota.com/cgi-gekkota/classifieds.cgi gecko mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gekkota.com/mailman/listinfo/gecko
