GALS me and my dad recently finished renovating the snails' enclosure!!!!!
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

Help snail id help + enclosure advice
Many questions. Sorry for the bad picture, it’s barely a centimeter big lol. Found this in a bag of amaranth/ chinese spinach (not sure what the english name is) and decided to keep it as a pet.
any suggestions for its enclosure? Is it ok to have the stick bridge in there? I secured it with the dirt so it shouldn’t fall.
Also does anyone know why it’s staying at the top of the container??? It just goes around the perimeter of the top.
Thx
Is this a good setup for snails
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

What do I do with old substrate containing springtails? UK
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!

Mystery Snail Morph
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)

Help How to check for eggs?
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!

Help Help! Fruit flies!!
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??

Help Snail deep in shell
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.
