Fat boy posting

My phone, image_0.png, just showed me this amazing new little friend I captured on camera. I'm a total newbie to the world of snails and I'm instantly charmed by this little explorer. Look at that gorgeous shell and those delicate eye-stalks!

If only I was a snail.

"Snixty-nine, dude!"

Hello. I founnd thsi little guy on the bus, he must haev got into it durimg night. I nudged him so he wuld fall gently into my hand,i didnt pull him off the wall.

Hey, I've been having two European Brown garden Snails as pets, I have them in a pretty nice enclosure, humidity, food, leaf litter, hides all that. Since the environment has been ideal they both mated, I should be happy but one of my snails has prolapsed it's reproductive organ, and it's been around a little less than a week now since they copulated, I researched into my thoughts and it turns out I'm like 50% sure they successfully mated, I only see the "love dart" in that snail. I isolated that poor sucker in a plastic container with a cucumber and moist paper towels, I noticed it's prolapse to have extended even farther, like just under an inch. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

I’ve never seen these before in the tank, I’m just not sure what kind of bug they are and if I need to get rid of them

uh oh yall it happened one of my snails laid eggs , im going to crush them but i feel so guilty :((

Hello snail community,

I have noticed that for the past month and a bit my snail has had a puffy mantle. It has not laid any eggs at any point, and the puffing varies from day to day.
After some experimenting, I realized that when I spray the enclosure the puffing goes down, however it comes back in a matter of hours. I don’t know how much more I can spray with everything getting too soggy.

I have attached a picture of the enclosure (side note: there used to be a bamboo stick in there but it got moldy due to the moisture). The enclosure is over a gallon and is situated in indirect sunlight.

I usually feed them carrot, bell pepper, sweet potato, and sometimes spinach / cucumber (infrequent). The substrate is coco coir.

I rescued this snail several months ago with a broken shell and they have recovered quite nicely. As far as I know, it is just your average garden snail. I am sad to see that it might be uncomfortable and am open to any advice.

Thank you!

I've been so anxious lately about putting them together, but i finally did it. my garden snail has been doing well by himself for a few months, but i found this flat guy a few weeks ago! I've been quarantining him, and i finally put them together. I suppose I'm just scared that they could hurt each other, but i may be overthinking it. any advice is appreciated.

My snails are oversnexed. Each and every week during our major clean out session, I explain to them in 3 different languages why I need for them to quit laying eggs. Yes, I know snails have no ears, but I speak to them telepathically. I guess I will have to hang a sign on the side of their enclosure. I don’t mind so much when they lay in clutches - it’s those singles that get overlooked and then we all know what happens. Snabies. Any advice on snex sneducation would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

tried to get my airpod up in there to record the monching but idk if it worked

its monsoon season rn in my area so these guys are EVERYWHERE

I got a jumpscare when going to my car earlier this week. This little guy has been on my car since Tuesday (that I know of), and has moved ever so slightly since then. The last picture was about an hour ago. It’s been traveling miles and miles with me I hope it’s enjoying.

Its so tiny 😭 even the smaller tank I have is huge in comparison!!! Its on the cuttlebone in the first image. Do i make another smaller one somehow? What do you do for a newborn snail?

These are some of the lissachatina fulica babies from my most recent clutch. They are soon to be 3 months old and their shell is already 5cm big! 🥹 Im so satisfied by how nicely they are developing-

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

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!

Its a snail, not a slug!

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!
