Does anyone know if these guys bury themselves? It looks like they do. Picking one up on Monday. I am obscenely excited!

Congrats! Are you in the US? Just wondering since it seems that it has been mainly people in the UK who have been getting them.

I have one. And nope, it doesn't bury itself.
Mine has the same type of sand which my Congo buries itself with, but the baileyi only rest on top of the sand. They are more rounded like other puffers, and they got cirri on them, so I guess they aren't adapted to burying.

Wow. That's great. Did your lfs special order it for you or did they just get one in. Post a pic when you bring him home!
