I hear that the small ones are burrowers like Cyriocosmus...What about the 'big' ones, do they burrow also?

I would give up a large portion of my T collection for one of these. How large are the adults? ~4"?

Nice shot. Do yours burrow alot? I keep my triseriatus on deep substrate, but they dont seem interested in making a burrow.

Hmm, I was sure I had posted a pic of mine in this thread, but I guess not.

Hi
I give mine a bit of substrate as well, and they just seem to dig a bit of a hole. I wouldn't call it a burrow, just sort of an indent along the side of the dirt. Most of the time they are out.
However I have a couple of Hapalopus sp "Columbia" small, and they are still in a pill vial. They are always dug right to the bottom.
