Found in the mulch section of the garden department (Lowe's $6.50 USD per 30Lbs) and comes in a red and grey/brown.
When I first opened the bag, I thought I was taking it straight back to the store. It has a slightly waxy feel, but after several minutes of rubbing and then rubbing again after dunking it in water there was no residue on my fingers. 1 non-burrower is now burrowing, 2 animals have had a good poop and clumping was only so-so so my vacuum was happy as well. There was no noticible residual odor, but it has been said that my nose lacks sensitivity. At the price I'm going to stay with it, on most the snakes and the millipedes, until there is a reason to switch. I probably wouldn't recommend it for most scorps or burrowing tarantulas.

I had heard a friend mention it before. He said he had good luck with it so far. I might have to see if I can find it.
