Im looking for a secure idea (other than the deep cereal boxes) to house a 3"+ Cobalt. The cereal boxes to me look like a massive pain if the T ever needed to be re-housed. Not saying it isnt a good idea , just that a newer T keeper like myself needs to keep things simple. If you have any picks of your Cobalt set-ups please post !

Hi
Whatever you choose to house your Cobalt in, they will generally become overly stressed if they are not allowed to burrow.
Have you thought about using a conventional 9"x9"x12" tank with deep substrate? Or what about using Oasis (the dense foam you use for flower arranging and stuff) You could pre carve a burrow that ran alongside one edge of the tank, like so:

Use Pet Pals. If you've ever seen The Hulk, my bedroom looks like David Banner's living room with all those little plastic tanks, etc. I swear by pet pals.

I found some tallish clear round screw off top containers at my local SUPER 99¢ STORE.

I put in moistened substrate as shown on the cereal box thread, leaving a paper-towel tube sized opening to the bottom... and my lividium and murinus' completely re-arranged it to their liking! My lividium is now on the BOTTOM of the enclosure with all the substrate on top of her, with only a little burrow leading to the top!!
