I've read through some older posts on here regarding A. hentzi enclosures and am hoping to acquire a mature female in the near future. Thought I'd see if any keepers have new/updated recommendations. Enclosure options currently vacant in my basement include a standard 10-gallon, a 20-gallon long with screen lids, or an 18x18x18 terrarium which I've ruled out because the front opening doors would make substrate depth tricky without leaving the walls of the enclosure WAY too high for her safety. I'm leaning toward the 20 since it has a lot more surface area, but am new to T's and would love to hear other suggestions.
Also, if I'd like to encourage burrowing behavior, I know I'll need a somewhat substantial substrate. Does anyone do a clay/sand mix for this species? I've got a beautiful large piece of lightweight bark I'll set on top of the substrate for a hide. Any other secrets to a having a happy Hentzi you'd like to share?
