Always use observation and the full guide alongside this plan.
Enclosure 20 × 20 × 25 cm (W × D × H) Prioritise deep, firm substrate and a starter burrow or hide.
Substrate depth A 3-to-4+ inch depth (depending on life stage) made from a mix of organic topsoil, coconut fiber (Eco Earth), and peat moss. Maintain a moisture gradient by keeping one side or corner damp while letting the surface on the other side dry out slightly. Adult dimensions are a practical starting point. Avoid oversizing: secure cover and a usable layout matter more than empty space.
Ventilation Critical due to the high humidity requirement combined with cooler temperatures; good cross-ventilation prevents stagnant, stuffy air and mould growth. Match airflow to the species’ moisture needs rather than relying on a fixed enclosure type.
Temperature 18–22°C Use a reliable thermometer and avoid direct heat sources inside the enclosure.
Humidity 70–80% Provide a moisture gradient where appropriate; the substrate should never be kept unnecessarily wet.
Water Must have a shallow, clean water dish available at all times. They will also drink droplets from misting or damp substrate Refresh it regularly and keep it easy to reach during routine checks.
Hide / retreat A starter burrow under cork bark or a firm hide gives a safe beginning. A well-placed retreat matters more than a decorative open enclosure.
Decor Terrestrial, wider than tall (min. 18x18-inch footprint for adults). Good cross-ventilation is critical to prevent mould. Keep every feature stable, purposeful and easy to inspect.
