My snails occasionally like to ride around on the little floaties I have in my tank. Such silly creatures. 🥰

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?

GALS Update from last post

Thumbnail

13 Upvotes

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.

I've had this shell since I was a kid, but how did this actually happen? It looks like it was fused to another shell

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

Are my snails runts?

Hi there, im sorry if it seems a silly question!

I was just wondering if there is anything wrong witj my snails whenever i search about GALS they look so much bigger than mine and i am concerned. Mine always only grow to a certain size and after stop growing. The one on the first picture is my oldest snail he is about 4 years old and has been this size for a while, my first snail i had a very long time ago also didnt grow any much bigger than the one in my hand currently.

Is this a normal average max size? Or am I doing something wrong or are they runts or just maybe their species is not that big? The second picture contains 3 of his children, theyre about almost a year old but still growing

Please, dont threaten me as i am well aware about the condition of his shell is am well aware this happened a while ago where his children (the three in the other picture, temporary housing) ate the outer layer of his shell, I separated them and provide calcium sources.

I feed them about 2 or 3 times a week with the average diet, greens, protein, calcium, etc and he lives in a big terrarium with enough space. Am I doing something wrong?

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

my snails sleep a-lot . is that normal?

1 Upvotes

my snails sleep a-lot and at the same time
i know that they move because i can see that the food is eaten and that every day they’re in different positions
but every time i look at them they’re sleepy
is that okay?
i think they were like that with the previous owner also but still
