I have a sub-adult A. Chalchodes that's in need of a rehouse. He/She's about 3" right now, and I'm thinking about putting her in one of those Exo Terra breeding boxes. I'm on the fence about it because it doesn't seem to seem deep enough for the T to burrow if it wants. I've also been considering one of those Sterilite, but it seems like it might be a bit large for a 3" T.

Exo Terra; https://www.amazon.com/Exo-Terra-Breeding-Box-Large/dp/B001B596Q2/ref=sr_1_1?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1386109523&sr=1-1&keywords=exo+terra+breeding+box&th=1
Sterilite; http://www.sterilite.com/SelectProduct.html?id=939&ProductCategory=180&section=1

Just curious what you all think about these products for enclosures/if you have any recommendations.

It's A. chalcodes :)

Of those two, I would go with the Sterilite. I have my A. chalcodes in a 5 gallon tank.

I've used kritter keepers in the past, I always find that the lid is so tight, when I take it off to do maintenance it rustles the enclosure around and disturbs the T.
Well out of those two get sterilite

Go with the sterilite, they will burrow.

I'm not a fan of the breeder boxes at all tbh, too shallow and the feeding hatches break too easily. The flat faunariums are better IMO.

Fixed the spelling error, lol
I think I'll use the Sterilite, seems to be the popular opinion
