And I think I know who your talking about, I saw his Kenyans and they were pretty nice looking. Was he in the booth right next to those Leopard Geckos?

Hmm I don't remember who he was next to. But he's a great guy, he even gave me a hands on popping lesson and let me practice on his snakes. I'm really bad at it. :rolleyes:

sounds good :) also if she demands sand, then you could try sandblasting sand, ive heard that it works great with Sand Boas as long as you get a fairly coarse grain of it, but one that isnt too coarse

Try crushed walnut shells. It's basically sand but isn't nearly as fine and doesn't have the same amount of dust material. It's also a bit safer.
