Default Snail feeding time.

I finally had snails this week big enough to offer to my Cat geckos and boy did they loved them. I haven't seen them so eager to eat something like they did the snails. this female was even gulping down two at a time right in front of me

Everybody else's Borneos from the recent imports doing well?

I've gave the snails many times to many forest geckos and as I have seen just females use them. But it is normal as the females need more calcium and micrielements.

thanks for that post, it is cool to see how much the animals love the snails! My 2 pairs are still living so the must be eating and doing ok? I don't look at them or keep them together I just water them, feed them and keep the enclosure covered to avoid any un necessary stress until they are looking very good and fat.

I'm glad they are doing great for you Oli .

What size tubs are you keeping your in? and what are you feeding them? Trying to get mine to eat more lateralis but they seem to enjoy their crickets a lot more.

Hi. here in the USA in most states ( expecially in Florida ) is quite illegal to keep and breed any land snails, both native and non-native. sooo these are just snails I get in my backyard after rainy days.

Just FYI, there are a couple of species of land snails that are legal to own/sell/transport. But not many...only 2 I think.

Not in the great state of FL. I have the paper from Florida wildlife somewhere. But we have no native species that can be kept legally as most as endangered. and nonnative like the Cuban brown and others are not legal to keep or breed. It really varies by state.

Last I checked (which wasn't all that long ago) cbb Rabdorus alternatus was legal to ship to all 50 states with no permit (with the exception of CA which you could ship to but the buyer did need a permit to own). I bought a bunch of them specifically for that reason. I never did get them to breed very well though.
