Generate for me a description of a spooky scene inside a building spire with sandpits and oil lamps.

Scattered, sputtering oil lamps cast barely enough light to navigate the space. Rows of raised, masonry sandpits stretch the length of the room. Those nearest the cliff face are small and lined with white sand suited to young, supple scales. As the sandpits graduate to an adult size, they are lined with a mixture of coarse sand and crushed rock designed to harden their occupants, body and soul.
