[QUOTE="octanejunkie, post: 176937, member: 3872"] For enclosure, 10x10x8" tall would be perfect, if not a 12x12x8. Fill with 4" of densely packed substrate, add a hide and a good size water dish. You will have to empty it of substrate and clean it often lol. For substrate I prefer mixing Coco fiber and peat moss 1:1. It holds firm and packs down better to create a really solid surface and it feels like digging in earth. You can add some vermiculite to hold moisture for sp that like a more damp sub. Add sand for obligate burrowers. For tliltocatl, I would over flow the water dish once a month in a corner and let it dry out. Your T will show you what it prefers by where it burrows/lays. [/QUOTE]
