Hello, i notice that my T started to dig inside her hide, so there is not much substrance left inside, you can see the bottom of the box.. So she is not siting on the substrance.

So my question is, is this a problem ? and should i add more substrance so she could dig deeper ?

Thanks.

I wouldn't worry too much, even if you add more substrate she will probably still dig to the bottom. I tried to fill up the holes that my L. parahybana dug and added extra substrate but next day he was down to the bottom again.

@bookac It's amazing how much dirt they can shift when they want to especially the ones that build web tunnels right up their containers and then carry the substrate all the way up to cover it.
