Hi, it can be set up in many ways, Depth anything from 6 inches or more. Even less is possible. The less you use, the more you have to have everything right. With my big boxes, theres so much variation that I do not have to be all that accurate.
Dark, is what the animals are looking for. So if you have a ten gallon tank, blackout the part underground.

A friend at a local herp shop nested his for the first time, this way. And used a ten gallon tank. His first female shed, then laid her eggs, that night. The only problem was, when the female laid, she dug down, not up. That fooled with his thinking. The female was strong, hydrated and went right to feeding. All you need to understand is the base requirements. Dark, humid, and depth to dig in. I place a piece of glass about four inches down, and they normally nest right under the glass. Best wishes
