[QUOTE="kormath, post: 89898, member: 4199"] First to mind is I don't see a hide in that pic. My money is on that as to why he's defensive. Without a hide they have no way to get away from the world, their fight or flight instinct is stuck in fight mode. That Kritter Keeper is too small in my opinion. You want something with a width at least twice their leg span so they have some room to grow and you're not rehousing them so often. No need for a wet/dry side with a Brachy. At his size he probably isn't burrowing anymore so all he needs is a hide and a water dish. The water dish will provide the humidity. If it's really dry where you are, you can overflow the water dish once a week or so, but let the substrate dry out between each overflow so it doesn't mold. [/QUOTE]
