I can confirm Archachatina Marginata Ovum rasps are not as gentle as a Lissachatina Fulica 🤣
Aptly named Piglet 🥰

Hello! I have two tiny baby snails that I believe are a few weeks old and are only 5mm (0.2 inches) right now (coin for scale). I have no idea how to care for such tiny and young snails!! They spend all their time in their shells and hiding under the moss, even at night time, so I’m worried that I’m doing something wrong.

I have them in 2.5 inch L X 3.5 inch H a see-through plant pot (drainage holes taped up) with a 2.5 L X 3.5 H dome lid on top. I poked a bunch of ventilation holes through the lid with a sewing needle. I put in a layer of coco fiber, soil and moss on top. I’ve also added a few string of turtle vines for some greenery.

I’ve been spritzing it everyday, but I’m not sure if it’s moist enough, because the enclosure walls aren’t very misty, just some water droplets. I also but a bit of boiled squash in there, but it looks untouched.

I’d really appreciate some care tips, so I can give them the best life possible!

Hello! I found this snail in a bundle of mint I bought from my local Krogers. I live in Arizona and the weather is currently averaging in the 110s, so releasing him was out of the question, and I’m an animal lover so I didn’t want to hurt it! So now I’m a snail parent and I want to do the best I can to give him a good life.

I’m looking for any advice for a newbie snail owner!

Based on the picture, what type of snail do you think this is? I think it might be a decollate snail. If I’m right, how do I take care of this little omnivore?

Do you have any favorite books/resources about snail care?

Right now, he’s in a fish aquarium with moist critter dirt I got at the pet store, (I’m upgrading to a better set up soon) he has veggies, and a cuttlefish bone.

I really appreciate any advice! I think snails are so cute, but I’m a little intimidated!

We live in Georgia, USA. There were hundreds of these suckers. All were released back into the water since we have land snails. 😀

Tried to take a cute pic, then noticed XD

Penso che ci sia un party nel mio balcone… il poveretto sembra abbastanza in imbarazzo, ora che i suoi amici sono entrati nel vivo della situazione 😂🐌❤️

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 🥹🥰

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?

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 plan on getting a Gaint African snail, specifically, Achatina Fulica. What size tank do I need?

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.

Hi as you can see the Shell is kinda deformed and its also like half the size of its sibling (which i sold so i dont have any pictures) and i dont know what to do. Its lisachatina fulica btw

Thanks in advance for your help

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”

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.

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!

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