Does any one know if the Washed sand (that come in big bags at Bunnings) are ok to use for gecko substrate? such as N.levis or N. Amyae???

I use the bunnings washed sand for my geckos without any drama. Sometimes it can be a little to wet and need to allow time to dry out a little.

I just thought I should point out that play sand doesn't really hold burrows very well.
For my burrowing species I mix in about 30% red desert sand and that seems to do the trick.
