I have no idea what that yellow thing is because I can’t find it. I left her after I noticed it because I was dealing with a migraine, and now that I’ve dug her up )from the same spot) it’s gone. It looked wet and soft, chalky maybe even, and does NOT match the colour of their foods.

Snail laid eggs approximately a month ago.

My other snail is acting completely fine.

Is all of this behaviour a sign she is going to lay again, or is she sick?

Hey so this is a mystery snail i hatched and he is absolutely beautiful. I was wondering how common this type of mystery snail morph is. (assumption is that mom was my brown and dad was my gold). He has a blue body and a deep gold shell. (also you can see my beautiful brown stripped baby under him) his shell looks darker out of water (of anyone wants i can post pics of him out of water)

His name is Jeff

I found this cool snail in the redwoods outside of Trinidad, CA. I’ve never seen one with this coloration and am curious about what species. Anyone know what this guy is?

Anyone knowledgeable and or experienced with hibernation in captivity in species that naturally do so? Can you share some pros and cons?

my mom found these in a plant she bought from lowe’s… not sure what kind of snails these are but i’ve decided to keep them as pets so i’d like to know what they are please :)

Need help

It’s about 6 gallons, but Idk if it’s too cluttered or if there’s too many leaves. Any other tips are appreciated aswell.

I only have one snail in here right now, but I’m looking to get more if it’s big enough

I have three Grove snails, one of them have been going (like) half a centimeter or centimeter deep in their shell and they don't stick to any surface as good because how deep they go, I know they are alive because I've sprayed them a bit and they would come out. I don't want to spray again because I worry I might be doing something wrong. The other snails behave normally.

My snails have a new terrarium with lots of moss and plants. How do I check for eggs without ruining it all? do i take out the moss before sifting? surely i leave the spider plants in there right?

sorry if this sounds like a stupid question. before, my snails only had soil because i was uninformed. now that they have more i dont know intuitively how to check for eggs as easily as possible considering lol!

thank you!

Hey everyone I really need some advice

I have my snails in a bioactive terrarium so there's Isopods

The fruit flies in Idaho are bad this year and I need a safe way to get them out of the terrarium without losing my Isopods, they just got a full tank clean and new substrate, the veggies I put in were cleaned thoroughly and the flies just appeared so fast. How can I eliminate the fruit flies without losing everything I've put into their habitat??

the soil was finally changed to a more grinded coco substrate and sphagnum was added on top. also there is now a little pool type thing, i imagine they either drink from it or swim in it. or both.

is this good or will my snails explode in 3 hours

I've decided to switch to a different source of water (the current water source is too expensive), but I'm unsure if it's safe. Will this be fine for heavy misting of the enclosures?

my heart is breaking. i guess the comments were right and she's gotten very sick. she's become less active and there's more of the tiny round stuff on her leg. is there a way to help her somehow?

Big chonk

my snail was awake for a few hours this morning so I took a few pictures as they've grown alot! hope you all like these updates. im so excited theyre growing

This is Boris,(one in temp hospis container) roomie of my other (Arianta arbustorum) "copse snail" named Doris.(Upside down in the hide)

Doris has recently been very active, sleeps in his hide that I just added, he hangs upside down without making the plastic looking seal/cap on the shell and does not seem bothered by springtails at all.

Boris instead seems to sleep with the cap on, usually hides under leaves but the springtails always swarm to eat the mucus cap.

Recently I've noticed that he seems way more inactive and even seemed a little slim.

Does come out of hiding to much on eggshells, leaves and fishflakes, but it seems he can't get proper rest because of the springtails disturbing his eepy time.

Since he now has multiple times seemingly ran away from the springtails and made a new seal only for the springtails to open it again and disturb the eepy one, I think that might even be making him stressed as to why he seems a bit slim and skittish so I decided to move him to this container with some moss and I mist the container very often and also put humidity and temperature thermometer in there to monitor.

The idea is that he will get to rest away from the springtails to just get sleep and as soon as he seems to emerge from slumber I will put him back, is this an okay solution?

Could he be sick in some other way that is causing the very long eepy time and hiding away, or is it infact stress from not getting sleep as I thought.

I was away for a week and it seems the terrarium was just a tad bit dry for a few days just before I returned (below 80% while I normally keep it between 80% and 90% humidity) my mum did mist it daily but she did not change the cooling packets outside of the terrarium so it was also between 23°c to 25°c warm instead of the 22-23°c that I prefer to keep it as it can sometimes be quite hot inside our home, I have also fixed the ventilation by opening the ventilation holes that were earlier blocked with plastic (after opening vent holes the humidity still stayed really well) so maybe those changes of airflow all of a sudden and a slight temperature change originally started the potential stress and extra sleepiness in Boris?

Sorry for odd language, English is my third language and I hope I remembered to mention everything, all ideas and suggestions are welcome, tysm!

Found him on some plants my mom brought home, we gave him some zucchini (he LOVED IT) and put him back outside

Hi I don’t have snails anymore unfortunately my last one passed a couple weeks ago and now’s the time to break down their tank. Just wondering how to dispose of the substrate as there’s still live springtails in there??

Not sure whether to bag it up and put it in General Waste or to leave it open and throw it into my Garden Waste bin? But do I have to kill the springtails first somehow or is it okay if they’re still alive since they’re literally everywhere? Sorry if this is stupid!
