ProRep Leo Life is part of the species specific ÔǣlifeÔÇØ series of substrates and has been designed to meet the needs of Leopard Geckos and other desert species. In the wild there are few species that actually live on pure sand and so Leo Life has been designed to mimic the sandy soil more typical of desert habitats. Leo Life contains a mixture of sand and soil to create a realistic looking and feeling substrate which encourages natural behaviour such as digging and foraging and aids the maintenance of a suitable environment. The addition of soil to the mixture reduces the risk of impaction sometimes seen with pure sand while enhancing the moisture retention ability of the substrate.
