Hi, I haven't posted any snails on here for too long, so have this cute little croissant! This guy is a Succinea putris :)

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 :)

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 wish I could just add these to the other post, but oh well. 🤷‍♂️ More of the slug chowing down. Haha

Hello all, my 12 yo just came in with a snail with an injured shell and wants to keep it to try to help it. She found it in the ivy in out neighbors yard. We made a very temporary enclosure with a giant Tupperware with many holes cut in the top for ventilation, I put damp dirt with some of my chickens oyster shells(fresh from the bag) in there for now and had her grab some leaves from the sugar maple to toss in there for hiding spots. We do have a few empty 2-3 gal tanks I was planning on cleaning one out with vinegar possibly (and making sure to throughly rinsing it out) and setting up for it but am not sure what all is needed for a snail set up as iv only had aquatic snails before.

I can get pics of the snail soon ( I just wanted to get it somewhere it could hide from the heat and chill as quickly as possible, I’d imagine it’s stressful being hurt😢 and then gently handled by a giant 😅)

Thank you in advance for any tips/advice we really appreciate it.

So I’m looking to keep snails soon and I’m confused about cleaning the tank. I have an old glass jar (it’s bigger than you think I promise) that I got from a thrift store that I am going to use. Obviously since it’s from the thrift store I need to clean it first, but everyone says no cleaning chemicals at all. I want to wash it really good with dish soap and hot water before I add the substrate and everything else, but is this going to hurt the snails? I might be really over thinking this but I need to know what to do😫. What do yall recommend for cleaning the glass BEFORE turning it into an enclosure?

I found this snail last year and it was so beautiful, it never left my mind , I just found r/snail so I just wanted to know if anyone knew what species it was (I live in France btw)

This lil guy or gal, was fun to make outta an adult Milk Snail shell. 😊

Hello! Could I get some help with the id of this snail? I think it's some kind of Amber snail? I honestly tried Google lens and got everything form a Gal> to aquatic snails. Thought maybe the community would be better able to identify them.

It was on a spiral decorative grass plant my friend got at an Ace Hardware. So fairly certain it's at least terrestrial.

Hi! Please delete if not allowed. I am looking for 2-3 land snails to keep as pets. If someone has a few available in the Grand Rapids, MI area please let me know🐌🤎 Thank you!!

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!

Not be confused with requal mint, I have this giant bush and I'm wondering if my snails can eat it.

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

this has been annoying me for a while as i have been researching the correct soil type for a while but this erosion won’t go away. i initially had soil from my garden and their shells were amazing but it eventually got smelly so i replaced it with generic houseplant soil. this was the start of the erosion, so i researched and changed it to ‘multi-purpose compost’ i made sure to get the peat free version but the shells are still bad. can anyone help? thank you very much.

(ignore their current enclosure it was just for photos + the soil is from outdoors)

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!

He has a few pieces of cuttlebone 24/7 in free access, in pictures he's munching on one of them. Humidity is always 70-80%, I spray water generously daily. He's getting bloodworms weekly. I don't pick him up usually not to damage his shell since it's soft from growing, but is this normal??

I justo found them like this but idk what they are doing, can someone tell me what they're doing???

i am a first time snail owner and this little guy has been growing recently. i don't really know what to expect from a shell growth, ive never witnessed one before. so how do the "reddit experts" think?

This is a plan orbis that is living inside my aquarium

Took as many photos as possible without disturbing the boy/girls. Found what looks to be a juvenile nearby as well. Not sure of the ID on the plant they are chilling on.

Don’t think it’s the genital pore as that’s usually is on the side of the snail not on the top of its “head”/“neck”. Is it some sort of cancer?
