Should I fill the substrate back in?

[Wafflesmama]

So, I have this little g. rosea sling that has pushed all her substrate around and made herself a very fine burrow. My question is that I have read over and over again to make the substrate deep so they don't hurt themselves if they fall. Should I fill the substrate back in where she dug it out or am I ok to let her renovate as she sees fit?

Leave it

Ok, thank you. That was my gut feeling but I'm kind of a newbie with these guys and don't want her to get hurt.

It’s still a short fall distance you should be fine. Plump t !!!

That's a little beyond "plump"...quite chunky and a nice shine on that butt, probably get a molt within a couple weeks.

Is that a thermometer/hygrometer in there, sitting on top of the plants? I wouldn't leave anything that heavy kicking around in the bin, just lift that out and leave the rest alone.

I have to agree here, if you feel like you need to have it, sit it on top of the enclosure, in will give you a rough temperature. Last thing you want is you're T digging and getting trapped under that.
