If they were sold as bibroni it is almost 100% certain that they are Chondrodactylus turneri (formerly Pachydactylus)

As these are totally arborial it really doesnt matter what the substrate is.

yeah newspaper always works. its easy to clean, cheap, and never causes impaction. they dont spend a whole mess of time on the ground so i think they can deal with lots of different kinds.

I have always kept mine on orchid bark chippings which I have never had any problems with at all

Mine have washed sand-box sand. I have had them for well over 7 years with this substrate. They lay their eggs in this and the eggs hatch in the cage too. I have had less trouble hatching the eggs in the cage where the female lays them than in an incubator for some reason.
