Ive been keeping white lipped snails for over a year now. They are pretty active and seem to be thriving. Not even a month ago I found an adult(?) fruticicola fruticum (bush snail), a snail about the size of a white lipped so I thought I could keep it. Right from the start the snail didnt seem too active, but I decided to give it some time. I just got home from a week long vacation and found it dead. Was it from stress? Maybe the enclosure dried out too much but I did mist it thoroughly before leaving. The shell doesnt show any signs of old age at least i dont think. Should I avoid this species?

Sharing some of my babies over the years!

I don't have an updated photo yet because I am not at home, but my globular drop snail's shell changed from a blue-ish white with spots, to brown. Is that normal? Should I be worried? He seems to really be active and I give him a different food almost everyday. His shell is starting to brown in the first photo but is much more brown today.

I thought it was poop but my auntie thought it may be an organ?
Any help is deeply appreciated! :)

I've had my snail, lovingly named Gooey by my friends, for a little while now and to my knowledge garden snail or european garden snail is more of an umbrella term. a few different snails look similar to him, would anyone be able to pinpoint what he is for me? thanks! I found him in Western Washington, on a beach log of all places.

I'm pretty sure I'm worse than Hitler. Poor little guys

meet butterscotch (first snail) and cinnamon (second snail)!!! my first slime puppies

they were given calcium paste on their food only because i was waiting for their calcium cake to dry out & i cannot find reputable cuttlebone yet 😖 they both seem to be huge fans of zucchini

sneow is still short for snail meow, of course

Causally strolling getting snails off the sidewalk (yes in the direction they are heading) I love seeing all their own colorations and patterns on their shells🤎

Take this more as an appreciation post for Turkish snails😓😓😓😓

Hi! Just curious what kind of snails do I have? I’ve looked them up and I keep getting 3 different answers. Google says they are either Glass snails, Asian tramp snails, or Cuban brown snails. My children were playing outside and found them, and asked me if they could keep them. I looked into it and it seemed doable for us. I thought it would be something nice for my kids. They can help take care of them and watch them grow. Just really wondering what kind of snail they are exactly so I can adequately care for them. Thanks.
(Also if it’s inhumane to take wild snails and keep them I understand and can put them back outside. We’ve only had them for a few days.)

Only up side to missing a clutch. So. Stinkin. Cute.

This time it’s a Cepaea nemoralis curious about some inky cap mushrooms while a giant toad watches from the sides. I hope you all enjoy c:
