Hi gecko guy I'm keeping mine in a very large flat(ish) storage box with holes burned in for ventilation. I had them in a glass tank but the storage boxes seem to work better for some reason. I have 4 or so inches of soil mixed with bark chips and leaf litter in there for them too.

So far my American and Tanzanian ones have been breeding but I'm not sure if I have males and females in the rest.

This species is Ephibolus pulchripes so it's much smaller than A. gigas.
Tanks dimensions are 33 x 19 ( x 22 height) cm. The millies are about 10cm lenght so you need much bigger terrarium for gigas, about twice as big as this one.
