@wellington. Sorry I jumped all over you. There would be no way for you to know if I acquired an Egyptian on a whim, or whether it was a studied decision.
The t. kleinmanni is not a very well known species, do you think? Until I really dove into the Mediterranean species, I knew nothing about them. I don't know how many keepers there are; I notice that the Egyptian forum does not have loads of posts. They have a lot of unique characteristics! I am hoping that I might share some of these characteristics on the forum as time goes by.
In the meantime, perhaps I should put a note when I post a photo about the unusual nature of the substrate-- then the reader wouldn't be distracted by it. And I will certainly take comments as concern rather than criticism. Thanks for caring.
Don't worry about it, you were very nice about it, not like most are. The note about the substrate wouldn't be a bad idea though. We aren't used too seeing many using it. Just the last month can I say I have seen a couple post about it and one probably was yours, so that leaves one other and that's probably Salspi.@wellington. Sorry I jumped all over you.

I could not agree more. Lots of the older "care sheets" I found had lots of conflicting information. Glad that Chris put out such a comprehensive one on his site and in the Reptiles magazine article.@Longhorns1187, Yes, 100 pounds for mine as well! I hope you will be active in this forum. These "tiny tanks", as Chris calls them, are not so well known and I would like to share as much experience as possible. Thanks for the post .
