[QUOTE="octanejunkie, post: 174105, member: 3872"] Keep in mind, terrestrial Ts are used to living on the ground, solid ground. If your substrate is fluffy and not packed down they won't like it. That may be why it's on the wall. While it is there, measure the DLS (diagonal leg span) of the T. Write down that number. Get a bag of coco fiber, get a bag of peat. Mix them together 50/50. Put your T in a catch cup with a lid. Pack down the substrate in the enclosure now. Add more and pack that down too. Repeat the process until you get the desired depth, no more vertical free space than 1.5-2x the DLS you measured before. Add a water dish and a hide. A pice of cork bark, a bottle cap, whatever. Make a starter burrow with your finger, or two right in front of the hide. Enjoy your T enjoying it's enclosure and you and it will both be stress free. [/QUOTE]
