This might be a no-brainer question for most of you,but i can't seem to figure it out.
Why are fossorials kept in enclosures that have more horizontal space instead of vertical space? So far i have only one fossorial (T. Albo (Who doesn't even burrow anymore)),but when he did,he only used a small vertical portion of the enclosure while leaving the rest of the enclosure untouched and unused (8in x 5in x 5in enclosure when he was 3.5 - 4 inches)
I don't have an active fossorial currently - so i'm not seeking to rehouse anything into an enclosure like this. Was just a thought that was on my mind for some time.
How do they shape their burrows in the wild,where they have unlimited ground space? Do they dig mostly vertically or do they do horizontal wiggles here and there?
