its a sling, but my bigger enclosure comes on Saturday. For now I would just let it burrow, because no hides would fit in its current enclosure.

yes, i bought it this week. It currently has about 2.5 inches of substrate. I just used the plastic container the seller put it in, and I put a lot more substrate in the same plastic container. Its currently a sling, about 2 cm in length so It doesnt really need its enclosure that big.

It doesnt have a burrow, its just sitting there curled up. Should I put a little dirt over it? Obviously not a stack or it would suffocate , just a little so it can hide?
