At the clay store?

seriously though, I would imagine that any all natural non-toxic clay would work depending on what you're trying to do. Try an art supply/craft supply store. Just make sure that it's natural clay and non-toxic. I don't think you'd want to use anything synthetic.

Zoo med sells a new natural clay based substrate that you can make cliffs and burrows out of. I thinkit is called Excovater. Go to there website for details. You can easily find it at chain pet stores.

I tried that "excavator" stuff last year, and I hated it.
It is difficult as hell to work with, it dries as hard as concrete, it is impossible to sterilize (or even spot clean for that matter). And if you change your mind, and want to try to remove it from your tank...lol, better get a hammer and chisel, because once it dries, the water just pools on top of the clay.

I am sure that it has it's uses though, you could use it as a base for another substrate...or you could construct a bomb shelter...

you should check around on the forum for other peoples opinion

I've heard nothing but bad things about the zoo med stuff.

I am not useing clay now. Just tile . The excavator clay is a substrate made out of clay and sand that(supposedly) lets your herp dig a burrow in nature. I am not using it with my leos now, as tile is safer and easier to clean.

Last year I gave my leo the excavator stuff and he basically lived in the tunnel i gave him but it's truly impossible to clean and when trying to get it out, i had the ridiculous task of using a hammer to remove the stuff and not kill the tank
