I need to find good, clean millet!! I am housing my pair of mali's on screened playsand and its working well, but I think I would rather work with the millet because its lighter and they can actually snack on it too. The benefit of the play sand is I can easily sift fecal pellets and uneaten food quickly several times a week. I am not sure that can be done with the millet with the sifter I have. A buddy of mine housed his bearded dragons on one of those specialty reptile sands for awhile and complained about the dust just like you did. His red dragon which is actually quite colorful was a pale white LOL!! He switched it out to play sand as well. Those specialty reptile sands are just too fine IMO, and rather expensive. It seems most herpers are ALWAYS looking for that perfect substrate that looks nice, cleans well, is light, and not too expensive LOL!!

Continued success with your new pair!!
