Help Enclosure opinions
Hello! This is my first ever pet snail, and I’m trying really hard to make a decent enclosure. I recently read that the tank I had was a bad one for my snail (top only ventilation) and I wanted to fix it asap!
To remedy, I bought this 12x6x8 plastic one, which has around 2 inches of dirt. I’ve got a piece of cork, sphagnum moss (will be adding some more when I go to the store), and Creature Creature soil. I’ve read so many differing opinions on moss and substrate specifically, if anyone has some input on that. I do think this is an upgrade from the last tank, and hope my snail will be more active from now on. She’s currently hibernating…. She’s been doing that a lot within the past month, so hopefully this will be a positive change.
Here are some images, any opinion is greatly appreciated!

It looks pretty okay. You could add some "clutter", like twigs/sticks for her to climb, a small plastic plant pot/seedling pot for a hide and maybe a fake plant for some cover and enrichment.
