Here is an update on my Bulimulus guadalupensis. For those who do not know, these Bulimulus are a species of snail from Florida that I found on my trip there last year. They are legally allowed to pass state borders due to their non-invasive status and their traditional diet. All eight of them are still thriving. I have weaned them off of the black sooty mold that grows on wet vegetation that they usually eat and onto lettuce. They are doing quite well! Here's Russet. He's a brown-red Bulimulus. Cameron, an unusually pale yellow variant (relative to the rest of the Bulimulus under my supervision.)

Glad they are doing well for you! What kind of terrarium set up do you have them in? I've never strayed far from very humid (90% and above) containers since I was told they don't do well in low humidity.

I have them in a plastic container full of moss, twigs, some lichens. I as well discovered that they do terrible in low humidity so I try to always have the container above 90% humidity.
