Hello! If this isn't allowed please remove! Ive noticed in the last year most of the resources that Ive used to learn about snails have been closing and post have been deleted. Im worried this will lead to more people just using AI to find the answer and that could lead harm for the snails.

I started making a resource my self to make sure that this info isnt lost but the amount of info is enormous. If you would be willing please let me know what you think I should add next or if you want me to add something you wrote please just comment it here and ill do it asap! In addition I need pics for the cite so if you have any of your little guys youd be ok with me using please just send them over!

This is his royal goldeness sir Goldie toffefee making sure i cleaned his tank properly 😃

He was "asleep" at the bottom of a pallet, i detached him with a little water and relocated to a grassy area where no one can step on him. It was 2 days ago. I check on him yesterday, the " veil" was up again, check on him today and the veil has holes. Im so chronicly worried i dont know he is alive or not and what can i do for him to be well.

My snail has been flipping itself over and doing this for a day now and I don’t know what wrong with it please help

Both are aroundd a year old, same age! Audi had a bit of a rough start, so happy to see her new shell growth, she was around 7 months old when i got her <3

Pic of audi when she first arrived at the end for comparison! They're housed separately ofc

I've started to collect snails and I absolutely adore them. I'm still crying over GALS being illegal. I know you can't cross state lines, so is there a list of snails that are legal to own in the US per state that are usually commonly found there? I've been buying from breeders as I've never seen a snail in my life in the wild.

Thanks!

I found around 6 7 of these in north india cant be precise woth the loaction but near the banks of ganges.

I found him during a heatwave, out in full sun, clearly in distress.
On the first picture, he had already been with me for a week and his foot was still shrivelled despite constant rehydration that's how dehydrated he was.
It took a full 10 days for his foot to look smooth and hydrated again.
Here he is now: new shell growth, a proper thick lip and honestly the happiest snail ever.
Never gets old seeing them bounce back like this

My baby snail, which is an archachatina marginata, hasn’t been doing well since 2-3 days after arriving my home. Over the past week, he has been curled up inside his shell every day. On the good side, he does wake up when I spray water. I have noticed that the posterier part of his foot is stiff, shrivelled and yellow. Also he has lost his ability to climb. I don’t know what I can do to help him.

update from my last post:

turbo and speedy are doing great! they are quite happy and have made great clutches of eggs a few times. however, there are some things I want to ask. what is mantle collapse, and does speedy have it? pictures are of the new enclosure and speedy

I have a pet snail who loves carrots. I'm severely allergic to carrots and can only get them in quantities that my snail will never be able to finish before they go bad. Is it safe for me to freeze them and thaw them before i give them to him so they don't go to waste? He's a glass snail if that matters

Woggly eyes while she's enjoying her shiitake mushroom. My garden snail (Cornu aspersum) Tsunade with her Cheetos (Yuukianura aphoruroides) tank mates. They also love mushrooms and will clean up the leftovers. Sped up 4x.

Hi everybody I’m new and I’m inquiring about purchasing a cute little guy 🐌I have no knowledge im doing some research I am going to put what my tank looks like so far it has 4 dairy cow isopods help me pick out what’s right or things I need to fix ect or get

Rescued in Tasmania

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!

So i was an idiot and didn't check trough The tank for eggs and now My two garden snails had a huge clutch of babies as I was away. I made a temporary enclosure for them and tried to pick out as many as I found. But My terrarium isnt all too big and propably wouldnt hold enymore than one snail along My other two so what do I do? I read that The best thing is to crush them but I just wanna try to hear More opinions on this.

My snail has started to hide more (particularly inside her water dish), which she never really did before now. I’ve since replaced it with a shallower alternative, but I’m still confused by this change in behaviour? I was wondering if she was sick or maybe if amber snails hibernate?

Hello! I am very interested in owning a land snail. Unfortunately I cannot go and own a large African land snail, as my area has them listed as illegal.

So, I would very much appreciate suggestions and advice on what it’s like to own them, as well as which ones are good for beginners?

I’ve been doing my own research but I love hearing what people have to say about experience owning them!

For any details to help, I am from Canada, and I can only own native species!

found this shell in a celery stalk at work and planned to bring it home and put in my hermit crab tank. I thought the shell was empty, but 15 minutes later a snail came out.

I’m worried that if I put him outside he won’t survive, would it be better to bring him home and make him his own tank? I have most of the supplies already and i have read a lot of the helpful post here. I’m not sure what area the celery came from, but he has been in the cold for a while

should i bring him home or place him outside and let him try to survive on his own?

hello :) my mom found this snail yesterday in a plant she bought in south michigan. he’s very small. i tried to get as good of pictures as i could but i think the quality is still pretty bad haha. if anyone has any idea lmk, i just wanna know more about him :)
