Well most Belliana here is westerns. Easterns haven't come in for many many years. Every so often some will get mixed in from the most southern range with some spekii but that's few and far between. Most spekkii now come in here from Mozambique which does not encompass belliana range. Tanzania use to be main belliana export county and Sudan but no more Sulcata or belliana can come in so that stopped late 90s.Where are they often?

Maybe you could add some dead leaves and more stick/twigs or some plant foliage,I also have some large pieces of bark that they climb on and under.
Also My substrate is 6" deep coco and its not level. As they walk about they have to climb over or in divets. All these things make them feel more secure I think. Also the plants stop the substrate from getting to boggy and soaking wet. Yours look great.
Very interesting. So don't the K.b.b live in forest areas in the wild?Yes I could but why? At the moment they only sit under the rocks and only come out to eat. That's normal for small kinixys. Also you have to notice that this is a kinixys species which don't live really wet. Because of that I use a substrate which is dry on the top and wet under the top - hope you understand don't know how to explain this substrate..
