Default Substrate?

I'm thinking about getting a pair of T. keyserlingi or scincus. From what I've found everyone recommends keeping them on a fine grain sand which is moistened so that they can dig. I was wondering if anyone has experienced problems with impaction due to ingesting sand... especially with gravid females. I know geckos sometimes eat sand to get their calcium kick... how often do you supplement and does anyone recommend free calcium in a dish for them?

sand will not cause any problems as long as you get a fine grain, I honestly wouldn't worry about that cause mine acedently ate a rock once and he just passed it about 2 days later. free calcium in a dish is fine, but with a female you should dust her food with some calcium and that should be fine for her.
