9-10 month female, digging frequently. Is this box enough for now?

So, our little girl appears to be on her way to being a big girl. Been doing a lot of digging in her sandbox which is more of a bed for her. I’m going to grab sand and organic potting soil this weekend for a larger box to dig in. Current is about 2.5 in deep and just dirt from some Australian guys backyard.

Some beardies love to dig and scratch around, for them it is good enrichment, for us it's a lot of clean up lmao 🤣 😆 😂

Yeah, our last boy loved water. That was his water bowl lol She’s more into climbing and digging, hates baths but appreciates a good misting.

It's amazing how much and how different the personality of each of them is. Anyone who has never been around just don't get it lol. 🙂

Well, got out of the house today and grabbed some sand and soil.

The sand was soaking wet (PNW in the winter, gee big surprise lol) but I’m pretty sure she likes it lol Might get a slightly longer box, but she dug a nice deep hole.

Indeed.

Seeing how happy she is digging has pretty much set me on the bioactive path. Her enclosure is well suited for it.

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
