The enclosure looks good, and you definitely should throw in a bit more substrate in there. It’s true they could eat each other, but I wouldn’t say balfouris AREN’T communal at all, right?

aaaand I take it back. Apparently they’ve never actually been seen living communally in the wild, but still have evolved to live in a close proximity.
