Hey thanks for the reply. I have seen the sand in one of our local pet stores but because it is imported it is ridiculously expensive 8as most equipment is here in SA! it sucks ) and my other concern is whether or not it has the nuritional requirments for desert plants as well as providing adequete drainage.
I have been experimenting, and managed to get hold of finely sieved plaster sand used for building, in which i mixed very small parts of shredded cocunut husk (to hold some moisture) and very little plant fertiliser.
But i am still prehensive to place my leopards on it.
What do you think? and any suggestions on small grasses that i could use in the tank?

Thanks
k
