[QUOTE="mak_manning3, post: 161648, member: 30919"] Hey guys! So I just finally got the vagans I've been wanting so badly. He/she is about 3 inches and I'm absolutely in love. I read a ton on them in preparation and from my understanding they like to burrow. However, mine seems to think it is arboreal. It climbs the glass and even walks upside down on the lid of its 10 gallon tank. I know it has fell at least twice as I saw it happen (I probably need to get my heart checked now). I added even more substrate to cushion the fall because I know how delicate they are but I was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue. It has a good 5 or so inches of substrate (a mix of peat moss and coconut fiber), a hide, and a water dish, so I'm not sure if it just enjoys climbing or if something is wrong. Also, do you recommend keeping a heating mat under their tanks? It is finally starting to get cold here in South GA and I'm concerned it might get a bit chilly in the house. xoxo- MaK [/QUOTE]
