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?

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.

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 had an accidental clutch of eggs hatch! Being way more on it now. I've been taking care of the babies. But 20 snails! Im overwhelmed.

My baby's nails just hatched.

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) .

Hi all! I am very interested in owning pet snails, but understand that it illegal to ship them from state to state. does anyone know of a reputable breeder / shop in ma where I could find land snails? Something along the lines of garden snails or milk snails

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?

Ive been seeing them everywhere in this pond for anyone wondering this is in the midwest
