Is it possible to request a male and female if one orders 2?

Yes. The sellers are very nice and accommodating. I asked for a female and that’s what I got!

Can these be shipped internationally?

Unfortunately, no, we are unable to ship our live items outside of the US at this time.

what is the best sand to get ? The sand I bought has like sand dust? it clings to him..so he looks dusty all the time.

Silica sand works well. You should rinse it first (2 to 3 times) with clear water. Remove as much moisture as you can and spread it out letting it dry.
