New journey Bluchin

Aren’t they funny! This guy came only eating crickets and super worms. He has since had silkies, dubia, discoids. I tried horn worms, he was not having it lol I will try snails and locusts and morio beetles for sure. I’m always looking for varieties to try. Thanks for the tips. 😊
 
Beginning the transition from a little boy to a big boy right before our eyes.

I haven’t found a place I feel comfortable yet making the purchase. I believe it’s land snails they eat and I have only found them on eBay. I’m too nervous to buy from eBay to feed my babies lol
What some have done is promptly separate the eggs from the snails and hatch them in a clean environment. Then you have clean and parasite free snails for feeders.

Dang. I’d love to try snails one day but only if they are safe

How do you breed them though? That’s the part I don’t get. What do uou feed the snails? Do I put them in a bin with dirt???
 
Enclosure upgrades have begun. He started in a 2x2x4 now he has a double! 😍 he’s gonna be 2yrs old in November and I figured he well past ready for a bigger enclosure. When spring came and he started roaming, I knew it was time. Here’s a pic of the current and my boy enjoying his new stick. Not so happy about shedding or me staring at him 😀 but I can’t help it he’s too cute! Big boofer. I’ll be adding more plants (I had to remove some in his old cage they were dead from water logging) and sticks as he needs and expanding more when the time comes but for now he’s a happy boy!
He’s growing like crazy since exiting brumation. Weigh in coming soon. Last check in was March at 401g.
I know it’s hard to tell but the back legs on this guy are massive. I’ve never seen anything like it . 😂
