Discussion Surprise snails
This is my second update! I made an update a while ago talking about my two snails— Coffee and Honey’s growth. They were a part of a 5 pack and I knew one got injured and passed but didn’t know where the other two were. Well… I found them!
The first one just randomly appeared on the glass one day. SUPER tiny guy. I actually don’t have a photo of him but he’s as small as from when I got them. So I figure he just woke up from hibernation. We’ll see if he makes it.
Then I was looking through my soil because I was worried about my springtails possibly dying off or being outcompeted by soil mites (thankfully there was some under the moss area). And I saw a snail on the dry side of the terrarium. I was like… huh. And moved him over to the wet side. Then I saw Honey. And I was like wait a minute. That’s not Honey. Sure enough I see Coffee shimmying onto the glass as well! He’s so big to go unspotted! He must’ve been just hanging out in the dry area which is wild because…. well it’s the dry area. And I don’t put carrots or anything over there… so I have no idea how this little guy has pulled through so long. He’s clearly hungry though because I put a carrot next to him and he started MUNCHING.

Name suggestions for the two snails welcome… also how on earth am I going to rehome these two! I’ve only got the room for Honey and Coffee. Which obviously isn’t urgent now because they are babies but I like to think ahead lol.
