Why Clay?
the soil they live on has high clay content (although the terrain differs)if not visible from the surface(as it is in many locations) then not more than a foot or two down.
the type i am referring to is refined. And I think it is worth discussing if not trying. I read somewhere that topsoil is teeming with nematodes. I also know that many commercial topsoils are not desirable as it is mainly compost, contains inorganic debris and in some cases sewer sludge(like some potting soil) I have seen a uro of mine go bananas on soil but i stopped using it. I would be interested in trying clay but I am not going to pay like $100 or even $35 every month per enclosure-c'mon now.
