they prefer it! they burrow and lay their eggs in it. soil that isn't sandy doesn't provide for them the type of environment that they thrive best in. Sure, they -can- do without it, but apparently they do much better with it!

Sandy soil may hold humidity and temps more consistently and more to the standards that their eggs require. It has to, or there wouldn't be so many lizards populating it!
