Zoomed excavator clay for scorpion?

Yes!
It's what most people use, mixed w/h sand, makes an ideal substrate for them to tunnel in.
I've read people using different % of clay/sand mixtures, 25/75 to 50/50, all work. I keep mine simple, 40/60, nothing else added.
Take the DRY sand and clay, mixed well in a bucket, add water until you can form a ball, lightly rolled in your hands. Place the mix into the enclosure and lightly pack it down. Allow it to dry completely, mine took 2 days using a small fan to speed drying time. You can start a hole for them or place a hide along one side, they'll take it from there. DO give them a water dish, I've watched mine drink occassionly.

Okay so I may have got the wrong sand. I got all purpose sand, and it seems sort of wet to me, not desert like sand at all. They had washed play sand or something but it seemed like white and not very deserty looking I didn't know which one to get or if either of them were the right type of sand for the mixture. Could I maybe find sand at a lumberjack
