Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nunua" data-source="post: 148926" data-attributes="member: 4947">It's always better to write the full species name with non-abbreviated genus name. Now, if someone tries to google "E. colinicus" they won't find anything because the species is actually E. colonicus <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Anyway, Euthycaelus colonicus is a burrowing new world species, so a thick layer of substrate is required. I'm guessing the sub should be slightly moist, but I have no experience from the species, so I don't know for sure.. In that case I'd personally just contact the seller and ask how they keep them - As long as the seller is reliable and experienced, they're are always happy to help and give advice.</blockquote>
