How are you getting your tank humidity up to 90%? I'm trying but haven't been successful. Thanks

Try covering the ventilation with a towel and add water dishes a long with misting more often. Also sphagnum moss that is wet might help.

Yes my bulimulus do eat it, but they liked it more after it grew a very small bit of mold first. I will try a new mash soon.

Update: My Bulimulus seen to like high humidity but still aestivate in the day; however, they do come out at night. They eat anything I put in their cage and are very pretty. No eggs yet...

Mine do the same. I will find them deep in their shells during the day, which worries me, but see they are completely fine during the night. Weird little guys they are.

I think I have three more clutches to hatch. I hope I do well with them. I have moldy bark and lettuce in with them, so they can choose.

I should feed mine soon, as they're probably hungry lol... I've been so busy this week I forgot about giving them food after the long trip!
Edit: I mean, there is smoothy formula in there, ive just been wanting to give them various solid fruits and veggies to see what they will eat.

I hope mine lay eggs. I think it is a mechanism to survive; like if the day is dry they don't dry out if they are more sensitive.

Haha - they look great! I know a couple I sent still had a lot of growing to do. I think my largest if about 1.5"-2" or so. Good luck! Did they eat your fruit mix?
