I'm confused about how to tell if clay is in the dirt. I know of clay as large solid chunks. Wet or dry- chunks.

In the dirt that I explained in the above post and another type I am using which shows in the picture, there is not any clay chunks. Wet or dry- no chunks of clay.

Can clay be in powder form??

The dirt in the picture is fine and has very little amount of pebbles/stone/rock. It's soft to the touch and not gritty like sand. It stays wet, but not muddy wet. It holds burrows when moist and dry. I've raised a few lone monitors on it. I don't have any pairs yet, so I haven't had a female nest in it.

What am I over looking?
