480 pounds or more. Yeah, I know. I have a quarry nearby that makes soil rock, and one stage of soil-making is perfect for tunneling. I'm getting 500 pounds of that stuff. I'm going to put boards, pcs of plywood, large stones (as heavy as I can move in on a dolly), etc on top of the soil. His water will be a smallish pond feature that he can soak in, plus a cat fountain so he can see moving water. I hope he doesn't go on too long a hunger strike when I move him in there. At least the 10 X 12 setup will contan live mice. Those really turn him on.

Funny story: I bought him/her a chick, but he wouldn't eat it, so there it sits in a lizard condo, eating oatmeal, growing out it's pin feathers. I hope it's a hen. I'm positive he would eat a day-old chick. You should have seen him checking this one out. He was practically making-out with it LOL but not fun for the chick. When he starts accepting live chicks, I'll feed him a certain percentage of pre-killed frozen chicks. They *must* have different nutrition than pure rodent, rodent, rodent, I have to assume.

I'll let you guys/gals know about Brown Garden Snail raising. This is the perfect season to start it.

Roger
