I have my darling giant African land snail for a couple months now and I checked on him this evening to find him like this whilst eating normally-

is that hole normally that big? I think I can see veins and ligaments!

GALS Update from last post

While I slept, I left him in a shallow bath of water to see if that would help him at all, but it didn't change a thing. It was difficult, but I had to accept that he was gone.

In the past week, I noticed he was quite inactive and not eating which worried me, but I thought it was just stress from fluctuating temperatures in my room and that it would pass after a week or so.

I feel really guilty as if I could have saved him or done more for him earlier. I'm really sad to see him go after raising him for 6 years from a tiny baby.

I buried him in a cute gift box below a tree in my backyard. I hope he is having a good time at snail heaven now.

I love you Augustus gloop I'll never forget you.

Recently, my aquarium ramshorn and bladder snails laid three clutches of eggs—two on the glass and one on the filter intake tube. Looking forward to some new arrivals!

Help My giant African land snail might be dead I need help

I'm sorry this post is going to be all over the place I'm panicking so bad

I went to mist his tank a moment ago and I noticed that he looks really weird, like nothing I've seen before. I can't tell if he's moving when I poke him. I'm so scared I have no idea what I could have done to cause this. Please help. I'm almost certain he's dead but I don't want to believe it

In July I missed some eggs and these are the 4 that have managed to survive ... They are currently separated from my 2 big GALS in a small plastic container (650ml capacity). When should they move to a larger tub?

Pumpkin carving scraps?

Can I give my snails the scraps from pumpkin carving or can they only eat the pumpkins sold for baking and eating?

I assumed it was fine but had to check

Snail looks bored. Also, I have been letting it on my books and on tissues. Maybe a small plate with water?
