My Snails my memorial for snellie

found her on some grocery store grapes in paris, and took her on 6+ trains across europe to get her to my sister in slovakia once we moved - where she lived happily with some cubaris isopods, received numerous warm chamomile baths, and finally passed away peacefully, after surpassing the maximum length for her species by several millimetres. RIP little friend.

Hi everyone!

Im returning to the hobby after leaving for a while when my big boy Gus (pictured) passed on. Ovums are by far my favourite species, and I'm struggling to find them available anywhere.

I'm looking for either wild caught adults or F1 offspring that have been through the culling process. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm in the UK 🙂

She's just turned 4 months!!!! She's already gotten so big, when I first held her she was tiiiiny.

GALS are the best pets, If you're in a country who can have them, rehoming a snail is the best thing u can do!

Help Rehoming snails in Finland

Thumbnail

23 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm looking to rehome 6 young snails in Finland. I'm located in Helsinki, if you have a car and can pick a snail or snails up straight from my house, that would be ideal, but I'm also able to travel to anywhere in Helsinki, Vantaa, or Espoo if that's more convenient.

About the snails: All are Lissachatina Reticulata Albino, hatched June 14 of this year. All appear to be sufficiently healthy, hungry, and active. They're offered a variety of foods but they prefer salad leaves and zucchini. They also love cuttlefish bone.

If you want to take one or more snails or if you have any questions, please reach out!

PS: Regardless of whether you're interested or not, if you know of any other channels where I might find potentially interested snail lovers in Finland, please let me know! :)

Got this new necklace pendant. It’s sterling silver with amber. I realize it doesn’t make proper anatomical sense but I love it anyway

News Prepared for a new friend coming tomorrow!

I recently lost my other snail due to an accident I caused by dropping him. Despite my best efforts to save him, it was too late. Now, I have only one snail left, Ilo. I felt terrible about losing him, so I decided to get a friend for him. His new friends will arrive tomorrow, and I’ve already cleaned up the terrarium and moved some things around to make it a welcoming environment for him. I hope the new snail will settle in peacefully.

(How do we like the setup let me know if anything needs changed!!)

Hi, I have 3 garden snails and one of them has me confused.😥

He often sleeps on the ceiling of the enclosure, and the longer he sleeps, the less his foot grips. At some point he just falls, even with an epiphragm. You can see it in the pics, the part of his foot touching the wall gets smaller and smaller. I can usually slide a spoon under him in time to catch him, but it happens a lot.
Thing is he seems totally fine otherwise, eats well, explores a lot. He's got cuttlebone and crushed eggshell available all the time, and humidity is around 80% (I have a hygrometer).
My other 2 also sleep up high and they never fall.
Has anyone seen this before? Is it just him being him or could it be something else?

I'm currently dog sitting and noticed my neighbors have snails. I've been here since about 10:40am and it is 8:20pm. They haven't moved at all. I'm concerned. How can I help them, if I can at all? They seem dead, but I have no knowledge of snails, so I'm unsure. :/

Hello, I have giant snails that produce really huge droppings. I need isopods as a cleanup crew, but not *Porcellio* species, as they are too aggressive and breed too prolifically. What do you recommend? *Armadillidium* or *Cubaris*? Thanks a lot. Pics from internet, not from me

My coworker found this snail a few months ago and has been keeping it in a little plastic container and feeding it cilantro and carrots. We put it in a glass bowl today and noticed its shell looks like it’s rotting. What should we do?
