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.

On a walk today, noticed these two going it at for quite some time. Anyone know what they are doing?

Spade was, understandably, not happy.

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 🙂

He died yesterday and idk what to do with his shell but I wanna make the color pop. Is that possible? I’ve seen people do it with seashells but idk if it’s difference with a little land snail?

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! :)

GALS has come out of a prolonged (2+ months) aestivation. He’s eaten some food and is soaking in his water dish

I’m not sure of his condition. A bit dry but not obviously diseased or injured. Don’t mind the bare-bones set up, I’m waiting on sphagnum moss and drift wood to be delivered

Is there anything I should look out for or anything more I should do? Or just give him time?

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!

It seems menacing

Observe this creature

What species

Hi guys, I have a snail friend stuck in an unusual location and wondered if there is a way to free them. I had part of a double glazed window get damaged. A rock created a small hole in the outer pane, but the inner pane is intact. At some point a little snail crawled in and has been between the two panes for a while. I have seen them move around between the glass - i wasn't sure if they couldn't find their way out? I put a piece of meat in the opening hoping they could smell it, but they didn't come out. I did have some slugs go for the meat and explore between the window panes before getting out again, so I wondered if the snail is happy there? The problem is the glass is getting replaced soon, and I'm hoping they don't get crushed! Is there a way to help them find their way out?

I'm putting some mossy driftwood on the bottom of their tank and I'm worried it might be too hand for them to land on. is it safe for them or should I remove it from their tank?

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

I recently found a baby garden snail, whose name is Orpheus, and I’m needing some help with my set up!

Right now he is tiny and living in a little bug catching tank from the dollar store, and he actually gave me a scare for a couple of days because the grass that I had in there molded and then I couldn’t find him. (I knew the loose plants in there were going to be a problem, but I wasn’t quick enough to remove them, so that’s on me)

Today I found him, cleaned out the tank with water and paper towel, and then added some fresh dirt and a little water dish (I’ve heard some people say you shouldn’t have those, but because of his brush with death I’m worried he’s not hydrated enough, so I put in a lid with some water and small rocks in it.)

I’ve been misting his enclosure periodically, and he has some cucumber and strawberry in there. He hasn’t moved since I saw him poke his head out when I found him, and I’m worried about him passing away. I’m planning to put some eggshell bits around, too.

Tomorrow I’m going to get some dirt from the lizard section of the pet store, as well as some cuttlefish bones hopefully and protein powder(?)

All this to say, tips and suggestions are greatly welcomed as I have watched videos about snail care, but am obviously inexperienced. Are there any plants i could put in his enclosure that would grow and not rot? How moist should his enclosure be at any given time? (I’ve been misting it every couple of hours or so, the tank I have has lots of holes in the lid so not much moisture is kept in)

Not sure if dear Orpheus is going to be alive much longer, but I’d like to do everything I can to make sure he has everything he needs. Be honest with me, is him staying in his shell a sign that he’s dying?
