[QUOTE="Nicolas C, post: 90091, member: 3795"] Oh, sorry, if misread your post and answered the post of the OP about arboreal! My mistake!!! For an adult terrestrial, around 20 cm (= 8 inches) or a little more is good. Most important is to be sure your T won't fall from a height that is way more than its maximum diagonal legspan. Which means it's important to put enough substrate. For your 3.5 inches T, you don't need too much height. A good rule could be: the dls of your T (or a little more, 1.5x?) = the space between substrate floor and top of the cage (for you: about 3.5 - 4 inches of space; then if you have an enclosure which is 8 inches height, you can fill it with around 4 inches substrate). But it all depends of the available enclosure you have: I don't hesitate to put some of my juvenile Ts in their adult enclosures, I'm only careful to give enough substrate. [/QUOTE]
