Thank you, Aliza and jpg.

What substrate do you guys use? I'm using paper towel atm because my two look like juvies to me. I'd like to upgrade to sand when they grow up because they like to make tunnels in the dirt under the water dish, but I'm not sure which type of sand to use. Thanks for any input!

Please don't use that. I lost most of my collection of P. rangei to that stuff. Stick to fine grade commercial stuff and be safe.

Right now I have them on ceramic tile but I have 2 containers with eco earth (1 kept damp and one not) and one container with smooth rocks. I'd like to give them some burrowing opportunities but I'm worried about 2 things --ingestion of substrate and finding eggs. Any suggestions and advice is welcome.

I totally understand your worries with impaction and egg hunting. I think I'll switch to a fine sand, though, after they get older. I'd like to give them a chance to dig to their little hearts' content!
