It's hard to find good care sheets for Ts. Most are wrong or out dated.
For a B. vagan 1" or smaller.
2-3" 4" would be great, of substrate. They will burrow. Keep the substrate moist but not soaked. Think of a fresh bag of potting soil.
I would recommend using coconut fiber.
Feed them 1-2 times a week. The amount of food should be no bigger than their abdomen. They will get most of their hydration from their food, so make sure your food source is nice and hydrated.
1" or bigger 3-4" of substrate with closer to around 6" when reaching adult size.
You'll want to do about half dry substrate and half damp. Giving them a water dish, a shallow bottle cap works great.
Feeding once a week now is fine.
2-3" in size you'll move them over to a dryer substrate and maybe misting half the cage every couple of weeks. Sometimes I'll just overflow the water bowl some.
Again feeding once a week is fine. If their abdomen is nice a and plump, I'll skip a week.
Hope that helps. If you have any questions let us know
