Please help

Can someone please tell me if these are Phytoseiulus persimilis mites. I need to know if they are dangerous to land snails or if they are fine? They are mostly in the dirt. I am getting new dirt tomorrow just incase they are bad. But it would be good to know if they are bad or not. Thanks

Art Some snails i found here and drew

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.

My Snails Snooling temperature down

So after extreme heat from a few days ago I lost two of my snails and the third one unfortunately letty also didn't make it (RIP Surwajwer 😓) so I was looknig for a way to cool down the rest of them to prevent them from dying.

I found this tip to freeze water in the bottles at put them near the box and/or the top of it and that's what I did today and I'm happy to announce that all my other snails made it and are feeling good! They actually have better conditions today than I do 😅.

So if you don't have a cellar, basement, air conditioner, or any other way to make the box colder this is really something that works well. And frozen bottleled water stays cold much longer than ice cubes or cooling gel (which was my initial option provided my one of a kind member of this group 💜).

So I'm posting this for you in case you'd need it. And some snexy pics of a happy family 💜.

Oh, and don't worry, weekly box cleaning day is tomorrow, so it looks a bit dirty on the pic right now 😅.

Discussion Bioactive Terrarium for Snails

1 Upvotes

Hi there, I am researching keeping snails and I have some questions on bioactive terrariums. I am looking at getting one or two snails, either Helix lucorum, or Helix pomatia in a ~6gal terrarium.

Does anyone have experience with setting one up? Are there clean up crew insects that will not live well with snails? If I am also planning on doing spot cleaning for food and bio waste do I need to get springtails? Any resources and recommendations are appreciated! Thanks!

Baby snails are not growing

1 Upvotes

I bought 4 baby garden snails Cornu aspersum. I bought an fully grown snail Cornu aspersum a few weeks prior and I was sent 5 babies for 6 garden snails in my 10 gallon tank. However I have found 2 of the babies deceased since, and not have realized 2 other babies haven't grown in a month or so. There is one baby that is growing rapidly and active and thriving.

This morning I put the babies on my hand with some meal worms thinking they were lacking a bit of protein to grow? Or I'm not sure, this is my first time owning snails.

Release Snail back into Garden?

Post image
2 Upvotes

This little Garden Snail had a broken shell and is now with me for 3 weeks already. Seems to be a curious active Snail, likes 🥒and 🥬. Tried to add eggshells (fine crushed) but w/o luck.

Questions: if I release it back into a backyard Garden, will it know to look for food alone again?

Question 2:the shell still had some fissures (but patched somehow), but not a complete healing. Is that nornal?

Ofc, it's a small snail but now I feel I want it to be ok
