they are very social insects and love the company of others of their species... they will even rest in the same hide as opposed to choosing different hides... i believe they even hunt together... are you turning the 20 gal to make it taller or longer... if longer maybe 5 imo... if taller don't do it... most important these guys will drown in almost anything... so absolutely no standing water at all!

no problem... i will say when i had mine they tended to like to open their arms and surround the crickets and hunt them down by almost cattle rustleing them into a small circle and ambushing them just b4 they hopped to safety... it was cool... i want more so bad

coco fiber, peat, sand mix... it has to be somewhat dry, but for burrowing it will need a little moisture and something semi solid... i personally did just use sand and they were fine... i have no experience with the burrowing substrate although i think it's a good idea, just don't know about the product... and it will be substancially more expensive!

burrows are not a bad idea at all... you gotta be careful though... these guys can be eaten alive by the crickets if they're surrounded... especially emperors cause their sides are more exposed than most... so basically you want your hides easily viewable and removable
