I don’t know what the name of the worms are that I use. The Internet surpassingly does not have a lot about worm. I found these worms one day when walking through woods that are open space near were I live. There is no water in this woods but when it rains storm water form the housing developments that surround the woods floes into it. I found them in and near the dry streambed were the water floes. Piles of leaves get washed to one side and when I moved some leaves looking for regular worms I found them. I call them wiggle worms because they wiggle a lot when you try to pick them up. They also can move on top of the ground very fast like a small snake. Form what I have read on the Internet this type of worm might be a non- native worm that that was sold for fishing. It only takes me about 20 minutes to fill several 20 oz paper coffee cups with worms. I then take them back to my turtle pen and dump them for my turtles to find them.
As for the blocks I bought them over several years at Loews home improvement center. They cost about $3.25 each. At first I laid them down flat and one on top of the other but I got a new turtle that was much bigger then the others and he could climb out, so I had to turn them on edge two high. They stay well that way. In the spring I have to go out and level a few that have started to lean over the winter.
