The only time I would use sand is mixed with excavator clay and eco earth in a display tank. The key is using the clay so it dries hard and just some sand and coco for texture.

I have to agree. While some breeders have used sand in the past, I would only consider it as part of a substrate mix and not used by itself.

Play sand is way better than calcium sand but there's still a chance of impaction if they decide to snarf down a ton of it. If you want a more naturalistic look I'd go with ceramic or slate tile with a thin layer of play sand under it to better conduct the heat.

I highly suggest not using playsand. Any loose substrate can be problematic
