ummm do you even know what he's asking?

I use a deep container, about 15-20cm of substrate with no ventilation. You hardly ever see them but they do very well that way

When I kept them (years ago), just a small fish tank or a small plastic enclosure with peat no ventilation.

No. I didnt see his only 14 either. Didn't want him to get electricuted. Make that a plastic storage container with some small holes drilled in it. If its a trap your making i want no part of it.

throw some mixed cocopeat , dirt and leaflitter in a deep container pop in your trappy and let it do its thing ...easy , sealed containers are best cause they retain humidity far longer than a vented one .

Not hard to setup housing if you take alittle time to have a think .

Oh yes, cant be too carefull when working with a plastic/glass container and some coco peat. If you want no part of it why comment then?

I use coco peat. Trappies are very secretive so a deep substrate works best

throw some mixed cocopeat , dirt and leaflitter

I wouldnt use dirt or leaf litter, its a sure fire way to introduce parasites

you can treat it and clean it. hes not stupid enough to go grab a handful and throw it straight into his tub

edit* well i hope he wouldnt be haha kidding zach mate

the only real way to treat leaf litter if freezing, if you try and cook it in the oven it tends to burn. Freezing kills off most things but eggs still live on even after weeks of freezing
