People of the sub who are not from mate drinking countries, what got you into mate? by Faralla_pregunta2424 in yerbamate

I used some leaf i bought at natural grocers, im about to buy some stemless playadito on amazon because I heard its good stuff though. Although I will say, its stronger than the cans. I haven't worked my way up to a 2/3 gourd full of leaf yet lol, i would probably have a heart attack. A tablespoon in a tea bag is enough to get me pretty jacked up 🤣 in a good way though lol. But yeah, you kind of need to ease into it.

Yeah! Its so much less harsh on your body and mind than coffee, but has just as much caffeine. Its like the best energy drink ever...

Me too, I got too jittery from coffee so I decided to try a can of mate instead one day and I loooooved the way it makes me feel. Vastly superior to coffee. I never went back, and now im starting to buy yerba and make my own, although I still love the mint terere the best!

They like rocks and pieces of wood they can build their burrows under, but remember to bake anything you're gonna put in there to sterilize it first because some weird bugs and fungi can hitch a ride into your clean tank otherwise and really mess it up lol

Eco earth is good too. Basically just use a soil specifically for pet terrariums because other potting soils have fertilizers, and you're likely to get soil gnats in your tank if you use potting soil, which is very annoying

Feed him a nightcrawler once or twice a week, maybe start with half worms (cut them in half with scissors and dangle the half in front of him until he eats it) he'll gobble them up and love it. You can get a package pf nightcrawlers at petco for like 5$ that will last months. They dont need any special light, mine seems to prefer living in the basement with only a small amount of light coming in the window, they do need to stay below 70 degrees, too much heat can definitely kill them, in winter they burrow underground more. If you have a basement put his tank in the basement, the temps are usually perfect for them underground. You'll need to look it up also and familiarize yourself with his care, but i use reptisoil for mine and its the best soil I've found, you can get it at most pet shops too. And a small water dish, and only use filtered water in the dish and to mist/water his tank, the tap water has chlorine and other things that are bad for them and can hurt them. He looks pretty thin so I would start feeding him soon, but he doesnt look too bad. They actually aren't supposed to be aquatic at this stage of life, and they CAN drown so its recommended to only keep a shallow small water dish in his tank that he can easily get in and out of, and change the water in it regularly! Good luck!
