[QUOTE="Ed Zeppelin, post: 162422, member: 27778"] I have a non-burrowing 5.5" LP residing in a 10-gallon tank. I used to have 4-5" of substrate (coco fiber) in her enclosure thinking she would dig into it. Never happened. She doesn't climb but likes to sit on her flat rock or on top of her half-round hide, but never once went underground. Long story short, when I last cleaned out her enclosure I only put in an inch or so of substrate and she seems fine with that. I've read on several occasions that these critters will dig, but not this one. Any reason to have that much substrate for a non-burrower? Inquiring minds...
