[QUOTE="cmoore0475, post: 216027, member: 38939"] I’ve got a 1 3/4 ish T albo. It is in the mini sized critter keeper that is 7x4x5.5 inches! It is 2/3 or more full of substrate and has a little plastic greenery it could care less about and a piece of cork bark jammed into into the substrate at an angle with a little started hole under it for a hide I made! It’s been busy for the last few days excavating the hole I started and digging out all the way to the side of the enclosure and has provided a neat little window into its lair! I’m concerned since it burrowed to a place it had to stop if it’s in too small an enclosure! I honestly didbt think that might be an issue until it got bigger but second guessing myself now! My other concern is that it borrowed so much under rhe cork bark that it may collapse underneath! So 2 questions: is enclosure too small and if cork bark collapses the burrow should I dig it out or let it fend for itself?? Here’s a pic and it looks to have a ton of condensation but it’s more camera angle than condensate! I don’t want to flash too much since it’s like peeping in someone’s bathroom window! I’m really new to the hobby, so I dont want to be the typical hypercritical parent that obsesses over everything and gets eyerolls and signs and mumblings of “this guy” under your breaths but id rather be safe than sorry!
