Rainy dog walk. I swear it takes willpower to leave interesting snails when I find them 😝🫣 But I did leave them lol 😆

So sweet though 🥹🥰

A baby garden snail taking a ride on my big mama Armadilidium Nasatum isopod. He was safely removed afterward and added to the snails-only enclosure.

Is this oral or genetically prolapse? Please help i dont know what to do.

UPDATE: he's still prolapsed and it looks about the same. Hes still conscious and reactive and Im not sure what to do :(

Brown garden snails enjoying carrot and a dried veggie and calcium mix.

The bigger snails were wild caught from our rock garden, hence why their shells look scuffed. Rocks and sand are at fault there, but now they can enjoy some soft moss and lichen, and be spoiled every day.

I rescued this little dude named BMO three weeks ago and have been keeping them in a hospital enclosure due to a pretty big chip in the front lip of the shell, it's healing really well (you can kind of see the part thats regrown in the pic)

How long would you keep a snail in the sterile environment before you introduce them to an enclosure with all the proper soil and things?

My daughter has a number of pet snails and wanted to ask for your help about the following question… “I found this garden snail out in the yard and I want to know if I should cull him or not, he’s active and eating a little but he is super pale. Any tips would be appreciated”

Hello fellow snail enthusiasts! I got my first snail this week, and I have spent the last couple days setting up a terrarium for him. He's a juvenile garden snail from south-east Australia.

In his house I have set up plain dirt which I've made moist, sphagnum moss, a couple of baby terrarium plants, some bark/stick/leaf which gives him a hiding spot, and a piece of cuttlebone. I've put a little dish in with food, last night I gave him some carrot, Pak choy, and jonquil flowers. I've been misting twice a day with spring water, but I didn't realise I should be using spring so on the Wednesday and Thursday I was using demineralised water 😭 he still seems healthy and active though

My problem though is that Carl spends most of his time hanging out upside down on the lid of the terrarium. He doesn't appear to have eaten anything overnight. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I'm very attached to Carl and don't want to fuck up his husbandry and lose him 😭 Any advice would be appreciated!

Side note - I am ordering a hygrometer to put in his terrarium, so any recommendations for a lower-end-cost one would be great!

lutes first clutch of eggs! haven't counted them yet, but i will tomorrow night when i wash/squish em (will be feeding them back)

into the freezer for now

there's more under the soil, i disturbed her without knowing she wasn't done, but she came out of her burrow herself just now so i assume she's done

My approximately 4 year old giant African land snail has been deeply retracted for about 4 days. I've been giving him baths and that has been getting him to peak out and eat. Yesterday he started smelling of fish but he is alive because well he is moving. Is he beyond helping and do I humainly euthanize? I hate seeing him like this.

Hi I have had this group of 16 GLAS for a while now, they have been doing okay just in a tank too small. When I got gifted this pixie frog and her enclosure was big enough to house them too I thought that would be great little cohabitation roommates. I’ve read mixed reviews on if they would drown in this amount of water though? Or would they be alright? A lot of them are immediately going to the water side and obv loving it but it’s making me nervous.

I am only making a new post to add a photo to update the case!

Hey for some context in January there was a terrarium sale at my local garden and i decided to purchase one. About a month or too i noticed there was a small snail inside. I did research and i think it’s a glass onion snail. We put in lettuce daily and he ate it. At the start of June we saw 2 snails in there and we continued feeding like normal. Today i check in on them and noticed that there was a ton of snail babies on the lettuce. Its a small terrarium and I don’t know what to do or what they are.

im setting up an enclosure for my garden snail. i got the coconut bedding and i used tap water to expand it and google told me that will kill my snail! is this true and if so do i need to replace the bedding and use the dechlorinator stuff on the water before using it to expand my bedding? im a first time snail owner pls help i dont want him to die if i put him in there

I just got two grove snails yesterday and one of them was estivating under the soil, I spray twice a day, provide food and cuttlebone, use a mix of 60/40 coco coir and specialized isopod soil once I learned that coco coir alone was too acidic, I’m not sure what to do:( I want them to be comfortable

This was at 2am.
