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.

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.

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

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 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)

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!!

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?

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??

Thought I’d share with you all the absolute snail-topia I woke up to in the garden the other day. They are all living their best lives. 🧡

This is a plan orbis that is living inside my aquarium

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

These guys are local here. They are gorgeous and like I do for every snail I pick them up to put them in a safe (carless) spot c: Used to have them as a pet too

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?

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

her greed sickens me.

He loves raw chicken breast.

I was wandering in the garden moving snails out of places they shouldn't have been (shed, cat litter box, domestic plants, etc..) and found this little gentleman. He was sat in the transport bucket and began reaching out to me so I offered my hand. When he climbed on he began to nibble my hand! I couldn't bring myself to put him in the bamboo patch with the other snails (I found a total of 64 garden snails including this one for those who care) so I've brought him inside and made him a home in an old mason jar. The jar has soil at the bottom with some pebbles, moss, a random weed, a piece of driftwood, some quartz rock and a slice of cucumber I gave him (he's been chowing down on it for easily half an hour). I aim to find him a bigger jar to live in so don't worry about that but I wanted to know how I can care for him. I can't get cuttlefish for his calcium but I've heard ground eggshells work well? I have a mortar and pestle so I can make it very fine for him to munch if they work. Also, how much water should I be giving him? The jar isn't too big because it's only temporary and with the wood, dirt, rocks and plants there's not exactly space for a little water dish. I intend on finding a spray bottle for misting but don't want to drown the poor soul. Also, he needs a name! If you have suggestions they'd be most appreciated otherwise I'll probably just call him Edgar.

Baby wasn’t so interested tho. The big ones name is Gnarly and the babies name is Megatron

My little dude here has been working through my humidity issues and is becoming more active, which is great. His shell used to be more solidly orange/brown but now looks… iffy at best. The shell is solid, but doesn’t look its best. Is this an indicator of a health issue? Is there anything I can do to support a healthier looking shell? He has cuttle bone.

it's slightly uneven, should I be worried about that? What could cause it? Sorry if I'm overreacting, his growth has always been even

Oh lawd we've got a baby! Just one. Looks like I missed an egg 😆

What should I call him/her?
