Thanks Lyle! I read one source that said the bottom layer of the sand
should be wet with the top layer dry so that they make a burrow in the
sand... I guess you haven't found that necessary? Other than fragile eggs
have you been pretty successful breeding them? I really appreciate your
input. Oh, and are they active at all during the day?
