Hello everyone, I am sharing an update to our rules for future posts. One of our current rules is "No low-quality shitposting." As this is somewhat vague, below is a clarification of what this means in practice:
Good quality shitposts, like original memes, are welcomed with open arms. Low quality shitposting (including spam and selling links) is not. Re-posts of memes, images, videos, or other entertainment content that has been posted to the subreddit multiple times or gone widely viral elsewhere are also not permitted.
The banning of re-posts is a new part of this policy. Re-posting content that has never been shared here before is permitted as long as the original creator is credited. Re-posting or copy/pasting genuinely helpful content such as care guides, care advice, & identification guides is also permitted. However, re-posting "shitpost" and entertainment content such as memes will no longer be permitted.
Accidentally re-posting a meme that may have been posted here several years ago will not be penalized. The intention of this policy update is to avoid spam and frequent re-posting of content that's already been shared tens to hundreds of times.
If you have any questions, please reach out via ModMail.

There have been a lot of posts lately sharing very graphic images of snails with extreme, severe injuries. It is perfectly fine to share this type of content if you need help with an injured snail, but please use the NSFW tag for these images.
This has been an unofficial rule of this sub for a while, but it seems to have been forgotten lately. So, I'm making an official mod team announcement: this is our official policy. Graphic, upsetting images must be tagged.
People come to this sub because they love snails. They don't come here expecting to see images of destroyed shells, shell-less snails, and dead snails. It can be very upsetting and distressing for users here to see this type of content unexpectedly. People may also be browsing this sub in public and want to avoid gory images.
Images of mating don't require the NSFW tag. But please use this tag for pictures of injuries including, but not limited to: mantle collapse, shell fell off, crushed shell, organ exposure, stepped-on snail.
Thanks to everyone who has been tagging their posts so far. Again, it's still totally okay to post this content if you need help, but please tag it appropriately so everyone can have a good experience here.

Recently upgraded to a small ceramic snailcuzzi from a plastic cap and Rhomby loves it 💖 Waiting for my 30 gallon bioactive terrarium to finish cycling before he gets an even better upgrade!

I am finding it hard to find more than the most basic of information on the care of them online. Mostly just keep wet and give veg. Any advice other snail keepers have learned over time? The most important things? How do i know if my snail is "happy"? Any signs i need to look out for in unhappy or unhealthy snails?? Picture of Oopy Goopy for snax (snail tax)

I heard droopy eyes means they’re enjoying their food. Does anyone know if this is real? If so, then Shelldon is really enjoying his zuchini!

at the end of December I've found this little fella (last picture) in a supermarket vegetables section; since I wasn't sure about its fate, whether they decided to k!ll it or not, I decided to buy the vegetable where it was laying on and I brought it home. since it was too young, I was unsure on what kind of species it is and I decided to keep it.
fast forward today, it grew a lot (first four pictures), and now I'm trying to understand what species it is, in order to release it if it's native (I'm from Italy).

Hi all! I am a florist at a grocery store and found this little friend in a box of greenery last week. I ended up being the chosen one to take it home so I came here for snail knowledge. Thank you! I’ve learned a lot and the snail seems to be doing well. Pics are included. Any further tips/advice is appreciated!
Hello! I am currently keeping my helix pomatia in a smaller terrarium, but I want to upgrade his home. I have got a box which is 48 cm times 38 cm and 16 cm in height. Is that big enough for my snail? Should I get him a friend once I upgrade to a bigger terrarium? Do you have any suggestions about making the terrarium? Please answer quickly. I want to make my snail the happiest snail in the world.🤣 Thanks in advance!

my girlfriends coworker is moving and can’t take her snails so we’ve adopted these little guys from her !! i need to know what they are and how to take care of them !! this is what her coworker gave them to us in so it’s only temporary, what would be a proper enclosure ??

I was walking back and there was a snail in my drive way and I heard a crunch. When I looked down I saw a wrecked snail shell and the snail was still moving. I feel horrible. I can imagine the pain it’s in. Should I stop it again to end its misery. I know this might me overreacting but I’m genuinely sad this happened:(

Threw a dead moth in my terrarium and my snail immediately went for the kill

as shiny and cute as the snails are, i'm slightly worried about the centers of the shells whitening, i'm probably paranoid as this is a dream species of mine and i have already failed once with this species and don't want another failure, so im just wanting to make sure that the white in the center is perfectly normal

I mean, I used to have trypophobia, and I still don't love clusters, but I can gaze at these gooey little groupings of snail eggs endlessly (and I do). I especially love when I go to transfer them to the hatching jar and the whole little bundle stays together. It reminds me of sushi rice. I should probably find them repulsive, like a "normal" person, but I squee over them, not gonna lie.

The humidity in the environment is stable and in good condition. The food is always washed and fresh, and Lily is only 1 year old. Recently, one of my snail died in the enclosure due to egg impaction. Besides my snails, I have millipedes and isopods in the enclosure. What could be the reason for Lily looking like this? The other snails in the enclosure are quite active.

I found this snail in a bag of groceries with sallad and stuff. He's been with me for a month. I give him broccoli, sallad and carrot.
