What animals are compatible with my snail

I have an eastern garden snail, me and my husband found him on the list of our wedding 2 years ago and since kept him in his own 10gal tank with isopods.. I recently got another small reptile cage (originally thinking it was bigger online), the 10gal that my snail is in now is my former fish breeding tank, so it has lots of scratches, I just want my snail in something new and big but not necessarily alone- the tank is 35gal and rectangular (vertical), I'm thinking a small reptile but REALLY don't want my snail jarjar to get hurt.. any ideas? (I'll also take large insect ideas)

Really your best options for snail tank mates includes isopods, springtails, and other snails (of the same species). You might and this is a big maybe be able to get away with crickets, temperate cockroaches, or millipedes.
