Ours is in a XL critter carrier ( 8 gallons. He is about 16 inches long and very tiny, so right now, he's good in the carrier) We have aspen bedding, a hide, and a water bowl. We have the UTH on the side instead of under the tank (followed directions) He tends to really only use it when digesting food. His new tank will have some perches for him to climb on, but we rarely see him. He's always in the hide or under the substrate. They don't need lights over the tank.

He has had his first shed and is GORGEOUS!

He eats 2 pinkie mice 4 days a week. I do remove him to feed him, but only because he is an aggressive feeder and the type of substrate we use, I'm afraid he would ingest the substrate with the food.

I don't use any spray for humidity like our ball, just normal humidity is fine for them.

I don't think they can be housed together unless you are breeding, however these were all together at the pet store (I think he had 15 babies together)

Good luck!
