Sometimes Es do pick turbos! Make sure you dip him into the fw of the tank before you add him back into the tank :) Glad to hear he went back into a shell!!!
Truly blessed to have incredible creatures, wonderful friends and my amazing family in my life!! I'm very thankful & grateful for all of them! www.thehealthyhermit.com

Be sure to remove the sea biscuit from the tank so he doesn’t ditch a shell, and return to it.

I gave him many (freshly cleaned) to pick from and he tried several on, he seemed to attracted to the shiniest shells of all, and he made his choice of a silver turbo shell which was a little odd. I will be moving him from the isolation tank back into the larger terrarium with his friends today :crabbigsmile: . Thanks for all your suggestions!
So glad that he's into a proper shell, but I have to admit that I laughed out loud at the sight of him. That is absolutely adorable.

I think it's hilarious, really.

Make bromeliad jellyfish out of them and hang them in the tank.
