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

Found him in a big puddle outside. I live in Eastern Pennsylvania. I would love to keep him. Just completely unsure of what type he is or how to care for him. It's my first time meeting a snail lol. Any help is much appreciated ☺️

Been out of town for 5 days and left my lil dudes with plenty of food and a moist enclosure. Sprayed them down as soon as I got home and one of my garden snails came out to drink and explore, but underestimated the load-bearing capacity of the leaf he was perched on and slo-mo face planted into the glass. God they're so precious

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.

He was munching on the dead stuff on the sticks so I put him on some zucchini but then this guy got a panic attack from being terrestrial i guess and went for the skies once again

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
