Pretty much anywhere with strong ground and little exposure to flooding or bad weather. They need a variety of low and high ground, for digging burrows and watching for animals. Preferably sandy places, where they can camoflauge with the ground to hide from predators, and easily dig for food such as centipedes and insects.
