| 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.  | |

| 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 | |
