H. paucidens housing question

I have a question on the very first picture of the paucidens. I have one as well and i was wondering if its necessary to have all those other things mixed into the substrate? Because all i have mine is beach sand. Its small grained and i bought it from a reptile house. Do you think i need to add anything to it?

I keep mine on coco fibre.

But really, they like a mix of coir and sand about 50/50

ok then ima go mix me up some coco fibers then. go dry it out the put it in

Yeh, make sure the coir is dry

yeah its all dry. do you think aquarium rocks would be good in it too or no?

What do you mean by aquarium rocks?

Like the small rocks you buy for the bottom of your tank. Often have colors.

they kind of remind me of pea rocks...
cause i have a 40 lb of those type of rocks in a 55 gallon freshwater aquarium...
it only cost me like $4.00 for the bag..

but maybe you could use that instead cause most aquarium gravel has that annoying dye you have to wash off and than theres never 100% assurance you get it all off...

its up to you, im just saying, the pea rocks were much simpler and i did less cleaning on them

huh. maybe ill get those then.

like i said dude, its an option...

yeah cause i wana get something else than just sand. Ima put the fibers in if they EVER dry out

put them in a container in a windowsill that the sun hits for a short amount of time in the day...its what i did, but i had to continuously check it to make sure it didnt completely dry out

well mines going in a hadogens tank so it needs complete dryness. its outside on my tramponline on top of a garbage bag.. its gonna be dry soon enough
