[QUOTE="octanejunkie, post: 174630, member: 3872"] A great enclosure size for your T, today, is an 8x8x8 cube, however A. seemanni will outgrow that one day but would probably not need more than a 12x12 footprint unless yours grows over 6" Fill something that size 2/3 full with substrate, a hide and a water dish and you should be good for a while. Be mindful of not leaving too much free space above the substrate, 1.5-2x DLS max climbing height. I mix rehydrated bricks with peat moss and cut in some sphagnum moss and add some clean soil or sand. If it's still too moist after mixing, put a 1" layer in a baking dish into the oven preheated to 250° and bake for 20 mins. Stir halfway through. That should help speed up evaporation but your house will smell like a nursery/coconut grove for a few hours lol Let the soil cool before using HTH [/QUOTE]
