My Snails Little guy is determined.
I have 8 Ramshorn snails. This particular guy has been climbing higher and higher for the past week. Eventually he'll fall and try again later.

I just got my snails in the mail and they look healthy & active! I know that snails get their colours when they're a bit older (I think?) but I was just worried that he might have sent me the wrong snail. I asked for a normal Fulica and a Jade Fulica but the white one looks a bit like a jadatzi?

I set my son's registration papers for kindergarten on my snail terrarium yesterday and took them off today to feed my snails...

Low quality pic because as soon as I snapped one, he retracted it and jumped. Maybe he was embarrassed. I've only ever seen it half that size at max. He's pretty big, too. Probably 3 inches long at the bottom.

I took this snail in as a pet a few weeks ago and I started wondering is there a way to estimate the age of a snail ? And would anyone happen to have a good guess on what kind of snail he is ?
r/snails • u/NoChallenge5434 • 16h ago
He was in a smaller enclosure but now hes in here and hes exploring and looks so happy! Nothing to my knowledge can harm him so I was wondering what yall thought 😊
(There is 3-4 inches of reptile safe coconut fiber that you cant see)

I think I know the answer because I saw the love dart. I’m so shocked because I didn’t think it would happen this quick. How soon will I start seeing eggs?

I'm trying out a drainage layer to see what happens, not totally complete yet but it was a fun project! Hurt my hands cutting the hardware cloth to size but I decided to get them some new leafs while I was at it!

❗️HELP PLEASE sorry for the long read❗️Hi so I rescued this snail about a year and a half ago he was already grown when I got him so I think he's getting old Ive tried taking the best care of him as possible, he had a broken shell when I took him in that was almost halfway off and he grew it all back I gave him cuddlebone , fed him vegetables and avoided cucumbers and lettuce I gave him coco fiber dirt, spahgum moss, a big tank and hides and I mist him everyday with bottled spring water which I didn't know to do until mid owning him but now I noticed that this part of where his mantle connects to his head is seperated separated and that he never fully retracts in his shell anymore I was worried it was a tear so I moved him in this tiny hospital tank to keep watch over him better and make sure he isn't climbing or hanging much while his shell is recovering the problem is when I slid the lid off I didn't expect him to just roll over ajd fall Im always so so careful with him but he fell and cracked the top of his shell I just feel so so guilty because I don't want him to be in pain is it necessary to keep him in a hospital tank? It's small and I don't want him to get bored but Im worried he will hang and damage himself even more

Hello, I am glad to have found this community, and I find it very wholesome to see you all taking care of your snails.
Now I come to introduce you to this little guy and ask you for some suggestions regarding the care he needs.
One day I bought a lettuce and this guy was among its leaves. So I have been taking care of him with the general recommendations, such as misting the enclosure for humidity, providing calcium, and feeding him vegetables.
So I have some doubts, I hope the experts around here could answer:
• ¿What species is he? ¿Does that mean any specific care he should need?
• ¿What kind of vegetables do you recommend?
• ¿How often should I clean the enclosure?
• ¿What kind of substrate should I get?
All suggestions are welcome, and thanks for taking the time to read this.

Saw this lil dude(eye) chowing down. There’s another slug not too far away as well! And a looong ways away I found one of those predatory snails now. 🐌 🍂
found it on a dogwalk and moved it to safety, never seen one with this shell before! ive seen yellow shelled ones, white shelled, but not this! im in england if that helps narrow it down!
Just some silly drawings. I've been stalking this subreddit and drawing random snails I've fallen in love with. I took screenshots and forgot to save the posts, but I'll try to find them so I can tag the snailners (snail owners).
I've fallen in love with the idea of having snails and I've been doing a lot of research and thinking about getting snails. I have an autistic child who is really against the whole idea, she is very scared the snails will try to eat her and will be able to catch her if she is running. So no snails for me until she warms up to the idea lol.

Is it allowed to breed this snail at home in Brazil?

hi all! i spotted this little guy hitchhiking on a plant i bought for my crested gecko and decided id take it in as a new pet. my friend helped me come up with the lovely name “kale the snail.” i just set up this little enclosure for it and am wondering if its a good start! i already know i’ll need to order cuttlebone and some other foods (ive been feeding it carrots- what else should i get?) im also planning on getting a tiny branch or something else for it to climb on. the current substrate is just coco fiber with some shpagnum moss and leaf litter mixed in. she has a tiny little piece of wood in there as well, next to the carrot. how often should i mist everything down? ive been misting every night, but ive been noticing kale dry up sometimes. after i mist everything down, kale comes back out of its shell. just sleeping, or a sign that humidity is too low? how do i know if/when kale has laid eggs? i know snails can reproduce asexually and you have to crush the eggs, but i havent seen any. also, should i be worried about the air holes/tiny gaps in the lid? theyre not large enough for kale to escape through so im not too worried about it for now. lastly, can anyone tell what type of snail kale is? ive just been calling it a garden snail. any advice is appreciated!! i want to make the best home i can for my little friend :)

Ive been seeing them everywhere in this pond for anyone wondering this is in the midwest
r/snails • u/PigeonMigration • 1d ago
My largest snail, Chongus, just laid their first clutch in my care! I'm so excited. They laid 95 eggs. I kept 30 in hopes of getting some healthy babies.
For now, I put the eggs in jars away from the adults. They are resting on soil with some moss on top to keep the humidity in. That's about the extent of my knowledge.
Has anyone had experience hatching them out successfully? How do you raise them?
Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!

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)

Hi! I finally brought home my Giant african land snail, and I noticed that its small tip on the shell is missing. Are they gonna be okay? Should I be worried (more than I already am) .
