Hey Cyndy,
If you're worried about impaction, you might try using a mixture of sand
and peat, or sand and coco fibers. Add some water to it and lay it into
the enclosure like mud (you can even shape it a little when its like this).
Let it dry, and it will become hard and solid. Personally, I think this
harder substrate is better for avoiding impaction then loose sand. If
you're looking for other ideas, you may want to consider joining the
vivarium list. You'll have to go to www.egroups.com and look for it. TC
