I used to find them in the desert in Ridgecrest, California as a kid, I don't know what species those were though.. Any of the Brachys would do fine in sand, and I guarantee some of them do actually live in sand in the wild. Mixing a bit of clay in with it would be good, with a pre made but natural looking burrow. You might also consider the desert hairy scorpion..though you will rarely see them..my vote is B boehmei, emilia, klassi, or smithi. Or arautum..or albiceps, or any of the Grammastola. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
