Can i use sand found on the desert or does it have to be special sand and do they need a lot of it.
Oh and how big do they have to be to put in the sand.
These are Triops longicaudatus I found in the Tonto Basin, Arizona, late summer 2008. They live in an earthen cattle tank that drys out each year. It was unusual for this tank to have water this late in the summer.

This was my second trip to this cattle tank to check on this late-season population of triops. It was morning and cool, so I only saw a few triops digging in the shallows.
