An enclosure with plenty of floor room, don't worry about height to much either heat lamp if you are that way inclined I proffered sub floor heating. An inch and a half to two of sand, and plenty of small hides. Be aware you will need to mist the sand a few times to get it to harden a little as they like to burrow into the sand. Others with more experience may have other opinions but this basic set up has worked well for me.

Haven't all the other threads and all the care sheets you've been given give you the answer? They need sloping sand, a hide or two and some optional decorations and a heatmat under the tank.

I keep my knobtails in tubs in a rack system. I use 10 litre starmaid tubs. I use a heat cord to heat them to 30C controlled by a pulse thermostat. I use washed playsand as a substrate, 2 cm deep and an up turned terecotta pot base with a hole cut out for a hide.
