I haven't heard about it, but I'm about to move into a new place and setting up a new grow and I'm definitely going to be putting some leopard geckos in the space. Those things are savages.

Might skink the house out??
obviously dried and composted
bat guano can cause SARS and chicken manure is definitely a way higher salmonella risk
would the resulting guano from being fed alfalfa pellets specifically have all the benefits that people use alfalfa meal for such as triacontanol but also have a better P profile than alfalfa meal like guanos are typically used for

reptiles are not vegetarians.
meat eaters' poop generally stinks.

crab and fish stinks too, so does bison shit and all kinds of other things that get composted for organic growing, I have a bottle of liquid bone meal that smells like roadkill
they eat insects and alfalfa pellets, so will there be chitosan too
seems there is some information out there on maintaining a bioactive substrate with geckos

look into frass
Many reptiles have a diet comprised nearly entirely of vege matter. We're talking the big dumpers here too, search out a giant tortoise sanctuary, a lot of states have them.

Stay away from reptiles that consume meat. Ten years ago I owned a motorcycle shop and had a six foot long Nile monitor lizard in a 16 x 5 display case with pool. It would eat three or four large rats or rabbits weekly. Shit smelled worse than any human.
For my outside garden I have composted chicken, horse, cow and goat manure over the years. No issues with those.
