I have just found decomposed granite. That is what Pro exotics uses as substrate. Took weeks to find It. Costs $30 a yard which is right around a ton(lbs). Crushed dust is its name I will be testing it this summer. Measuring humidity, compactability, and burrowability. I will let you guys know how it comes. It will be in a 6' length stock trough with 2' extra height to incorporate lights and stack for basking. Will post picks as it comes

I find white throats to be much more of a attractive lizard,these are the same lizard just different morphs, correct?If so I am leaning towards the white throat 99.9%
