Totally agree I think your safe with going with a 2.5 gal and enjoy watching him make it his home. Substrate is of your choice I suppose. I really like to use coco husks it allows them to easily do what they please with it. And it's cheap for a ton of it.small but doable. You would have to upgrade after the next molt anyways, I think, so would suggest something bigger. But on the bright size that means you already have the enclosure for your next purchase:biggrin:
