not sure by the color... the sand at our Home Depot here that is safe to use is a tanish color.. what you want to look for is washed childrens playsand that does not contain silica... make sure you sift it through a small screen first to sift out the large stones and pebbles that always come inside the bag... these can be very bad for your dragon if they eat them.

I do know as long as its washed playsand its ok to use. I dont like the home depot sand around here though, too many large particles and it doesnt look that great. I know out west the play sand is grey, they get it from different sources.
peace,

I like the playsand from Wal-Mart. I use a 5 inch fish net to sift it though and then I use the net as a (pooper scooper).
