[QUOTE="Andee, post: 120250, member: 26964"] I plan to do that for sure honestly. I am prepared to offer enough substrate to do so, and likely may add a safe way for them to burrow without worry of collapse. But I am pretty sure a 50/50 sand and eco earth mix that is just moist enough to hold a tunnel would work fine. The places they live see anything from 6-2 inches of rain all year round through out every month. And has relatively heavy humidity. All they need is decent air flow (huge with high humidity species of anything) and moist substrate and they should be able to have normal burrowing behaviors. G. Pulchra are a species that burrow hugely in the wild from the research I have done the last two months, and from what I know they can go 20 inches deep but are happy at 12 inches. [/QUOTE]
