Question about ackies

I don't have a pic to post of my ackie's enclosure but I have as deep a substrate in my other cages as I feel safe putting on the second floor of my house. I have two cages with footprints of 4x8 each with over 800lbs of dirt + leaf litter + branches, retes stacks, logs, water tubs they can fit in, shelves, basking lights, etc. That doesn't even include the weight of the cages themselves.

All the stats aside your best bet is to go with what ever you can do to best suit your monitors in your situation.

Best of luck, oh and here is a pic of my flavi / argus cage + dirt.

Look close at the burrow in the middle of the pic. Someone's home.
