In the wild, both B. hamorii and B. smithi tend to adopt burrows close to water sources. We don't know whether that's because they like it a little wet or because that's where the juciest insects live but either way they don't mind the damp. Their range is along the Pacific coast from the beach up into the Sierra Madre del Sur mountains and there's a rainy and a dry season on top of that so they're obviously happy with a wide range of moisture levels.Just keep it roughly in the middle between bone dry and soaking wet and let the T decide how to regulate it's body moisture. I wouldn't worry.</blockquote>
