I would have used backyard dirt but the ground is frozen here in wis. So I went to the local building center as they are starting to put out spring gardening stock. I found a really good top soil/sand mix it was very cheap. This was not peat based or what they call soiless mix. Maybe try somewhere similar.

Try sandy loam, I've heard it is great for varanid species.
