I'm ordering my son a 1" geniculata on Friday and had a few concerns on an enclosure.
I have a 4x7x7 Kritter Keeper that is empty now i can house the geni in. Topsoil, cocofiber, and vermiculite substrate mix with a water dish and some moistened sphagnum moss should keep it moist enough? or should i mist a side of the enclosure also?
I've read a few care sheets and most agree that it's not really a burrowing species, but does need a hide, so i'll make a hide for it. I'm thinking i should make the substrate deep just in case he wants to burrow, and to avoid damage from falling off the top of the cage.
Is it true they'll be 3-4" within a year? actually less since this one is already 1" permitting the temp and moisture are good.
