[QUOTE="Phil, post: 163520, member: 4151"] Sorry a bit late to this. Yes you have a Stirmi (result), assume the enclosure has been swapped out now but yes that was far too small and dry. Stirmi get up to about 10 to 11inch DLS when fully grown and do require a lot of substrate to burrow in and also higher humidity than most. Make sure there is plenty of ventilation as well as higher humidity encourages mould. To help keep mould away I would also just use coconut fibre (coir) as this tends to keep mould away better than the sub that has top soil mix and other things in it. If you say normal humidity in yours is about 70% and 70 something temps, then you should be fine with that. In Summary. All the advice in previous posts and ID is spot on and you got a much more interesting and expensive T for your money so the 'mistake' was a good one :) [/QUOTE]
