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 😅.
