    Steve would probably much prefer a nice moist (not wet) Eco earth substrate with some nice plants (fake or real) to hide under and a nice water bowl.

    See the pacman care sheet in the caresheet section or on the home page.

    I imagine he is not happy which could lead to illness. I would change things to his needs, preferably soon.

    Keep us posted...I hope he cheers up soon!

    Did he burrow in after you switched to Eco. Earth Coco fiber? The rule of thumb for substrate for them is moist or heavily damp not muddy. What are the temp and humidity levels? Did the potted plant contain fertilizers?

    Raise his temps a little higher and try and offer him some earthworms. Cover 3 sides of his tank with some sort of background for security.

    Care is the same, but they look more striking color wise.
