I recently got a subadult C. Hati Hati. Am currently keeping her in a semi arboreal/ fossorial setup with lots of substrate to dig. Any thing I should take note of? (Eg. are they photosensitive, eating habits etc.) Can’t seem to find a whole lot on them online.

Well, there isn't much too be added as Asian fossorials are pretty basic on care. I mean you got the gist of it already so there isn't anything else I can add honestly. I mean mines eat quite well, but specimens will vary all the time so I can't say all of them have the same eating habits.

They're very secretive and even as a adults will burrow. They like moist substrate. They tend to be good eaters but won't always take their prey immediately! Mine only comes out in the dead of night so if I leave the prey in the enclosure for a few hours to a day or so it almost always eats when I'm not watching! I have a sling and have seen mine maybe 2-3x since I got it a few months ago. Very secretive but when you do see them, they're beautiful even as slings. Care is pretty much the same as other Asian arboreal/ fossorial species.

My experience has been the same. I got my hati hati as a sling early this year. Its grown well and has been rehoused twice. The only time I've seen it has been when rehousing!
I drop food in, its gone the next day. Very rarely there is a flash of blue/black leg as it grabs prey dropped in near its tunnel but that really is a rarity.
