    Excavator clay/playsand mixing 70/30 pls help

    Like, if 10 pounds of excavator clay is 30%,how many pounds is that 70 of sand? I have a scale I can just weigh out the 70% amount and add the 30 and the 70 and then add water to it, right inside the tank and mix it up

    Excavator clay/playsand mixing 70/30 pls help

    Yes 70 sand and 30 clay. Okay so I am still very confused. I am familiar with cups but not quarts but I do have a quart container so Google says 4 cups is equal to one quart. Also, if I wanted 30/70 can't I just dump the ten pounds of clay in a bucket and then add 30 pounds of sand, and then I...

    Excavator clay/playsand mixing 70/30 pls help

    What? Idk the bag says to add 3 cups of water to 10 gallon of excavator clay but does that mean like measuring cup used for cooking? Also, do I mix the clay with water first and then add it to the playsand, or do I just mix the 70/30 then add 3 cups of water? Also how do I mix 70/30

    H. Arizonensis. Need help with substrate mixture

    This is my idea for his setup, tho I do know this complicates the question of how to achieve this. If I knew something I can put on the left side that is some sort of proper sand that's hard for him to dig through, and then other half is the excavator clay mix, so he has half he can tunnel on...

    Creating a desert scorpion habitat. Help.

    Okay thanks I think I will look Into that. I think it would be cool to give it a habitat like that. But just to clarify, it doesn't really need that, right? Like it'll do just fine if I just dump 100% playsand, or what I put in there already the zilla stuff?

    Creating a desert scorpion habitat. Help.

    Okay so basically I just wanna know the name of the mixture I should get, and I'd like to order them online because it seems easier than going to petco although they told me there is a reptile store so maybe they have a better selection.

    YouTube and Google. I have read clearly multiple times that I should get a reptitherm pad and put it on the side of the tank because if I put it on the bottom then it will be too hot in its burrow because they burrow to get out of the heat so I also NEED some sort of heat source to keep it at...
