Re: Sand on the bottom..........

Are you referring to play type sand?  I'd avoid it as it has clay and
really 
hard to rinse out.  You could do just sand and then you just shake your 
python an inch from it and it will suck up the mulm.  I wouldn't mix the
two 
substrates as they will mix into a sand/gravel mess.  Sand is great
though, 
because of it's density, nothing sinks in like with gravel, etc.
