Congrats. Looks great. Protein is a key factor for these guys when young.

Give a wiggly worm 2 times a week mixed with endive, banana leaf, dark leafy greens, some mushrooms, alocasia, colocasia, pothos, and sweet potatoe. Offer it all and see what he seems to favor then mix it all up and let him eat away. Soak daily, make sure to have a good big hide that is very dark. low UVB levels(these guys do not bask) nice warm even sidtributed temps around 80-88 and very humid. Heavily planted enclosure is always a plus for these buggers too. And try not to handle too much they can stress, just let him settle for a good while. Very easy this young to stress out and start to stop eating. It will take a few years for mountains to warm up to yah. They are very intelligent so dont try and trick him :D


Your photos just came up for me. Well the enclosure one did. Need to Put a lid on the tank to hold humidity. I would also swap the coil bulb for a tube bulb UVB reptiglow 2.0 is best for these guys. And put as many plants in their as you can. Pothos ivy is a great plant to use, it offers large leaf hide for protection as well its an edible plant for these guys as I mentioned above. I would use a heat pad under the tank too for good even heat distribution of the substrate. Really for these guys they need alot of places to hide and high humidity to sustain the level of hydration that is key to keeping them less stressed out.

Alive, and I always think it's a good idea to give the mealworms a nutritious meal before you feed them to the baby tort.
