   • Temperature: Prefers a temperature range of 25-30°C.
     温度：适宜温度范围为25-30摄氏度。
   • Humidity: Requires moderate to high humidity levels, around 60-70%.
     湿度：需要中高湿度水平，约60-70%。

3. Nesting Recommendations (巢室推荐):

   • Nest Type: Prefers underground nests with complex tunneling systems.
     巢型：偏好地下巢穴，具有复杂的隧道系统。
   • Environment: Should be kept in a substrate that mimics their natural habitat, such as a mixture of sand, soil, and organic matter.
     环境：应保存在模拟其自然栖息地的基质中，如砂土与有机物的混合物。

4. Food Sources (食物来源):
