[QUOTE="kormath, post: 87034, member: 4199"] They're terrestrial, almost fossorial, they're like a B. albo and love to burrow, i've also read they're more aggressive and faster than an OBT. Moist substrate for burrowing, you'll want an enclosure about 3x the leg span, so maybe 6 inches or so wide, and probably 4-6 inches of substrate. If you give them a hide and less room to burrow they say they'll stay out in the open a bit more and use the hide rather than be underground all the time. They're one of the more moist T's 80%+ humidity and mist regularly. They'd probably live in that enclosure you have, but i'd upgrade them to something larger as soon as you can. Oh and the common name is Java Yellow Knee, you might find more info looking that up. [/QUOTE]
