| 4-8" non-calcium sand humidity increases as he digs color doesnt matter; what is in it matters. that stuff at the petstore is a ripoff and is bad for scorps. | |

| Look at some online exotics suppliers. I'm afraid I can't recommend any as i'm in the UK, so maybe one of the others can help you. | |

yeah, expensive at stores; i got mine on amazon for 8 bucks after shipping. gonna mix it 30% with 70% playsand as ive been told You could always use bentonite clay as a binding medium to add to your sand. 1 part to 14 parts sand. Works just as well | |

| bentonite clay is very versatile stuff, used for everything from face masks to blast furnace.
I get mine frm ebay. dont buy the beauty grade though that is expensive.
However you can get it from craft shops that specialise in pottery materials | |
