I just put an order in for a C fimbriatus and an H albostriatum and they will be here in a few days. My question is if these guys can be kept the same way as eachother? I know they are old world obligate burrowers, but do they need anything different from the standard moist substrate, prestarted burrow, and water dish? Thanks.

As far as I know not really. Maybe just look up there native areas for average rainfall and humidity.

All Asian terrestrials should have somewhat moist substrate (not soggy) with moderate ventilation. They need a full, clean water bowl at all times. Give them a cork slab or a pre-started burrow.

C. fimbriatus are some opportunistic, though. Some web heavily, others don't. My female stopped webbing a lot once I rehoused her into her final enclosure. I'm somewhat suspecting they web if they're not happy with their burrow options, or the substrate.
