What an adorable baby!
But you may want to not have sand in the tank :c
A leos natural environment has no sand, it's mostly rocky with grass.
The terrarium mats they have at the store works wonders, are easy to clean and hold heat!
The sand not so much, and it can cause all kinds of health problems for your leo ;m;
I had a friend who lost one and it was said that it accidentally ingested too much sand >n<

I did reading on them at the pet store and thats what it said! O.O; she's been fine so far, but I'll look into changing it. Thank you! ;-; and well this picture was from a while ago and I did deal with the impactation, once i learned it was because of the sand in the pet store (this picture was taken when i had just bought her and the sales guy told me sand would be fine but she was only in it for a few days at home) Now i feel like an awful owner ;-; but honestly the pet store should have reliable resources on this stuff >:^/
well i mean if you want to be good PLEASE look into a gecko caresheet

Regardless if she is fine or not its still a MAJOR health risks from eye infections to impaction to even death. You must just quickly buy tiles (from home depot) or paper towels NOW. You can just put the sand in a ziplock bag just incase but please if you have questions im here! your not a bad owner, just told the wrong things for money.

Letting you know I got her tiles the day after you posted this, so she isnt on the mat or the sand. (because im a worry wart and i would be worried over this if i was on your end xD) But i got busy so i havent been on much to tell you. Thank you for the care sheet its very helpful :> I found similar ones while looking around so thank you for calling my attention to this
;w ; oh my goodness thank you so so much!!!! i love my little geckos and others and i just want to make sure there is proper care. also i found out another thing, if you get ceramic heat light bulbs instead of UV light bulbs (red tinted heat lamps) it is actually better because leopard gecko's eyes are sensitive and wont come out but will go for heat. my little albino Ysera loves the ceramic heat with no light and stalks me constantly!
