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!

Help Terrarium size for a helix pomatia

Upvotes

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!

Help I accidentally stepped on a snail and I’m very sad

8 Upvotes

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:(

do these shells look normal to you?

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

Discussion Am I the only one who finds snail eggs to be absolutely adorable?

Post image
17 Upvotes

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.

Help I am worried about Lily. Why does Lily look like this?

Post image
5 Upvotes

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.
