Today my hubby and I were rearranging all my torts into 1 room. I had to disassemble my russians enclosure in order to move it. I had placed sod in part of it. When I removed the sod, there were probably 10 earth worms. My boy, Boris, went nuts! I never saw him move so fast. He gobbled 3 down in a matter of minutes. Do they usually eat worms. I don't think I ever read anything indicating that before. What does everyone think? Thanks!

Can't say I have, but as you noticed torts are opportunistic eaters. Won't hurt him, but I wouldn't make it part of his normal diet.
