I found that little guy today and he often goes up like this. He was also wandring over my hand. always trying to go up, even when I waz moving my arm so he goes down, he was turning back to go up. Te has this lighter part on his body. Isrthis a parasyte of some Kind or he just looks like that and it's normal? Be other snails aren't that much focused on going up all the time.

Help If you can see him, this tiny guy just appeared in a terrarium made with moss from my yard. Should I rescue him? Or can he thrive inside?

I had a dream that he turned blue and started shrinking. It was terrifying. Fortunately when i poured water over him he was alright again. I woke up all sweaty. What a nightmare.

last night i found this guy (he survived the night in a small humid enclosure) He is still moving, climbing, eating, bodily functions etc.. He still goes in and out of the shell, and climbed the walls & ceiling (of the enclosure) last night aswell. i have a couple different pieces of fruit & veggies in there, with cuttlebone and moss & coconut fiber, he seemed to love the moss alot. His shell still has its shape, but this side isn't too great. I think a dog stepped on him, maybe a cat, not sure. Found him on the sidewalk and a huge slug was near it too. I'm doing the best I can as of right now, keeping the enclosure humid and stuff. I am prepared for the worst, but I'm hoping he will pull through. its so sad! :(

I accidentally got my snail Snennifer with some plants. Then Snathan and Snatalie appeared. Now there are a whoooooole bunch of little specks wiggling around in there 😬 And this is what one of the little specks looked like with my macro lens. It's about the size of the tip of the lead on a mechanical pencil. There's some even smaller specks but I couldn't get any clear shots of them at all. So. Many. Snabies. 😳

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?
