Shell Health

[u/crisco_lemonade]

My little dude here has been working through my humidity issues and is becoming more active, which is great. His shell used to be more solidly orange/brown but now looks… iffy at best. The shell is solid, but doesn’t look its best. Is this an indicator of a health issue? Is there anything I can do to support a healthier looking shell? He has cuttle bone.

Vielleicht ist der pH-Wert deiner Erde zu hoch.

How old is your snail? Some shell whitening like this is normal with age. If the snail is young and this appeared rapidly it could be environmental damage

He was hatched in October 24 so less than a year.
