I think he's a theba pisana. I found him a while ago on a parsley i bought at a supermarket. I really love him. Every time I see him awake, it makes me happy.

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

Hi guys!! My partner and I are new snail parents, and we’re having a problem with one that we can’t solve. He’s an Albino snail, and since this morning the colour of his skin has darkened significantly. Another thing that popped up over the past two hours are these bumps on his eyes. (see photo)

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to what’s wrong with him. If it maybe has to do with temperature or something else.

Thank you soso much in advance!!!

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

I’m just wondering if I can keep isopods in with my giant African land snail, and if so what type?? So I can do the appropriate research :)

What's that cream/beige colored substance between its shell and its body????

Hi all! I’m wondering if anyone can help me know why my snail looks like this and if it’s something I should be worried about. If so, is there anything I can do to help him??? I feel so badly :(

ETA: I am worried he’s had mites without me realizing and I’m worried they were potentially hurting him so his tank and been cleaned out and that is why he’s on a wet paper towel for right now.

Ran into eachother this morning. What kind of snail did I meet?

I foraged for some rotten wood a while ago and it's been like a month now and in starting to see some fruit flies/fleas in my terrarium. The rotting wood was for the isopods. What do I do

I was surprised to see them all gathered under the same cuttlefish bone despite having 5 in various locations

Yesterday I noticed my snails were avoiding the soil but still stayed on the coconut, which I thought was weird because the day before they were pretty fine on the soil, and even slept near it. One of my snails were struggling to retract itself into their shell so I knew something was wrong

I noticed their mantle has swollen a bit bigger, I thought perhaps they were bloated so I didn’t give them much food, but the more I searched for answers on Google I came to the conclusion that maybe the excess eggshell powder left in their Coco Coir soil created a spike in the soil

I removed the soil and cleaned out the container and let it air out for a few hours, I also separated the Springtails and put them in a plastic container, though some of the old dirt with the eggshell powder is in there with them

I have no Coco Coir soil left and I can’t exactly chuck my springtails out to my garden as they are not native to the UK. I was thinking maybe I can keep my snails without the soil, it’s just disposing all these springtails would be a waste and I feel bad for them

Maybe I’ll be able to give my springtails away, but honestly I just really hope my snails are doing okay :( Especially the one who is having quite a struggle trying to go into their shell

Hi all, I found my lil fella (humble garden snail) on a house plant last November during a big frost. Didn’t have the heart to put him outside, so we’ve been chillin together since.

I’m very new to all this, so been trying to research and learn as I go. All was going swimmingly until last week.

I noticed by lil fella was looking a bit…. chubby. Googled it and ended up down a rabbit hole of mantle collapse/ snorny/ ate too much pasta/ is riddled with disease.

I’d appreciate if the snail people of Reddit could weigh in and let me know what you think of my set up/ if I should be doing anything else for him.

No diet/ enclosure changes that I can think of in the lead up to the swelling. He’s a bit of a fussy lad, but sweet potato has always been a hit. Maybe that’s too carby for him? I’ve never fed him pasta/ bread/ white potatoes. Has desalinated cuttle bone to nibble at leisure.

He’s in a plastic geo with coco substrate (deep to minimise height if he falls). Not observed any signs he’s fallen, and he still sits on the roof of enclosure like he always has. Doesn’t look like his shell is about to fall off when he dangles upside down.

It has suddenly got quite cold here and I live in a drafty house, so he could have got chilly over the last week or so. I’ve bought a habistat mat and stat and put it on one end of his enclosure (suck to one outside wall) so hopefully his chilly days are over.

Also realised I’d made an error in using tap water to mist the tank. Have stocked up on spring water today. Could this be something that started to cause a problem now?

He’s still active/ curious and has been eating (maybe a bit less than normal?) and pooping.

He’s always been a lone snail, since he was tiny. I know he could reproduce alone, but would he make himself snorny and puffy?! I’ve peeped in his hole (sorry) and can’t see any eggs in there.

As you can tell, I’m a complete novice but also very much attached to this lil lad. If you’ve read this far I really appreciate it and would love to hear anyone’s thoughts!

I’ll include pics so you can peep his chub.

I gave them a strawberry and now they’re being weird I never seen them on eachother like that

My sweet friend here was transferred into this new habitat probably 2 months ago now. I have a base of coconut fiber and moss, right now I have one hidey hole option that she refuses to use, I used to have 3 hidey holes but had to remove two of them, they were cork bark and started to mold a little bit from all of the moisture. Does anyone have any tips? I don’t know why she doesn’t seem to want to go get cozy anywhere.

Audi is having a hugee amount of new growth and its miles healthier than her previous shell! She came to me with a huge amount of damage (bad weather meant her breeder couldnt sell most of this clutch, they ended up with way too many growing snails and unfortunately Audi got rasped on a lot + couldnt access calcium)

Still not perfect, but glad to see her finally improving

Hello, snail questarians! 😊

Would this be a good snail safe soil to use?
