    If you're looking to do a planted tank for them, take in to consideration that they WILL dig up your plants. I have a few and sure enough, they dig them up at least once a week. Also you'll need to layer your base. I have a 40 gallon breeder tank that's bee going for two year now. It's layered as such. 2 inch hydroball, then a piece of screening material, then a layer of activated charcoal, then a piece of screening material, then about 4 inch of a mixture of eco earth and organic soil. There are a few spots of live moss they pretty much leave that along since I've got several pieces of cork bark for them to hide in and under. Every 6 months I take out the cork bark and decor and turn the soil just to make sure all is well in the viv. I also have spring tails and pill bugs to help maintain it. This is why I mentioned about going taller.

    Okay, I'm looking into another option that is taller, somewhere between 18"-20" tall instead of 12".

    Well, I sent an email to John at Exotic Oddities last Friday, unfortunately I have not heard anything back. I'll try again this Monday, hopefully he replies if not I'll have to continue my search of finding a seller.
