so I'm looking into making a small formicarium for my ants and i have been looking all over for sandy loam and can't seem to find it any where and i need it as the main medium for the enclosure?

I've seen it in pet stores before lots of times.

Yeah, just go to your nearest chain pet store. (Assuming you are near one). They'll probably be selling reptile sand.

I found this on Amazon, and matches the sand color (reasonably) to some of the glacial till sand we see here in the north east - https://www.amazon.c...e?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

It's a bit whiter, but picked up a yellow sand to darken it a bit.

The stuff I seen at pet smart was like a brown/orange color, and had clay and other stuff in it. I liked it becuase it looked more naturalistic.
