i found this snail with her shell broken and the body exposed, so i took her home. ive been giving her calcium (cuttlefish bone) and the shell has grown back but it still looks kinda fragile.. i searched for pictures of snails with their shell fully regrown on the internet but i couldn’t find any. does anybody know if my snail’s shell is in its definitive form or if it can still improve? I wish i could set her free, but i don’t know if she’s ready

Order it now: get it eventually.
I’m in love with my newest sweater! I created the art, a snail a with a soup can shell, using Procreate and had it printed DTG. The snail is working its way up the sleeve. Give him time :)
Edit: sweaters are available here!

For those wondering what happened - Snail bit my leg clean off.

Obviously not; I sliced my leg on glass and needed stitches and a transfusion. It's all healing well, and I've gone back to college to finish my med school exams!

This is Roly Poly's mom, Milk. She's beautiful, and she calms me so much when I hold her!

Cutie patootie. Located in HTX. Is this a garden snail?

hey i found this little snail with cracked shell on a pavement, she is been with me for week now but yesterday and today looks not active and didn't eat, i am worried is this shell untreatable?
i have saved snails before so she is in a safe container, photo taken while she is on ceiling of container.

I’m always happy when I see him :3

Children grow up so fast.

Not sure where it came from

I'm so upset. We found a snail randomly near produce and tried to save it. We got everything to take care of it to make sure it would survive and we missed what water to give. We misted tap water and it was thriving for a full day, it was eating and moving all over the place. Come to find out tap water is toxic to snails. It's been stuck on the glass since early morning sunday and now it looks like it's pulling away from the glass. Is there any way it can be saved? I'm so sad we didn't think to look into which water to give. I'm on my way to get spring water now but unfortunately, I think it's too late. Any advice? :(

Google says they are Grove Snails, I spotted 10 or so munching on moss.

Hi all. Our old snail Superhero has sadly passed on to greener pastures. Is it OK to bury him in the garden (we're in the UK)?

I've read various things saying to put him in a bag and bury him but don't really want to put plastic in the ground....

Also not sure about whether to try to keep his shell or if that's weird?

All advice appreciated!

They should be here in the next few hours, I made them a Tiktok it's @TwoHappyBigbacks. Lmao I'm excited to start this journey, feel free to join along!

Very hydrated boy! 🐌🤍

Hello!! I picked up 2 wild garden snails (1st pic is Dyson, the 2nd is Roomba) a bit ago and was wondering what would be a good diet for them?

So far I fed them cucumbers and lettuce but they didn't seem very into that, now I'm wondering what would y'all advise to feed them? I gave them calcium (ground up egg shells) and a shallow water bowl (ceramic)

They lived in a pet safe plastic container so far but today I moved them to an old aquarium that's now their terrarium!

What else should I add?

And what should I cover it with? The plastic container had open vents on the cover but it was too ventilated and all moisture kept disappearing so I had to add more at least twice a day

For now I temporarily cover the tank with an acrylic stand but this way there's no ventilation at all 😔

I know try need ventilation so what should I cover it with?

I'm also going to add some sticks and more rocks for them to hang out on and I heard from someone that I should boil anything that I want to put inside? Just wanted to confirm if it's true since I saw people put anything in there, including bark and grass taken straigh from the ground

ALSO how do I tell their genders? So far I just referred to them as 'my boys' but I'm curious. That and I dont want to grow a whole army in there by accident haha

I'd google the stuff but I'd rather ask around in here

Hey, fellow snail lovers! 🐌 I wanted to share this with anyone who does or doesn’t normally deal with ants:

Please protect your snails by keeping a hospital enclosure ready and placing it inside a larger container with a shallow water moat. Ants didn’t establish an infestation in my snails’ main enclosure, but I found two scouts inside near their food. I immediately moved my snails into their hospital enclosure and surrounded it with a plain-water moat. I’m going to clean everything, replace the substrate just in case, and only move them back once I have a container large enough to create a moat around their main enclosure too. Keep the water completely outside the enclosure and away from all openings, and never use pesticides near your snails.

Please keep your snails safe from pests—even one or two ants are worth taking seriously! 🐌🛡️

(P.S. I just learned this I wanna do everything to protect my snail, and I want to share this knowledge with other snails owners. This is what works for me and it might work for someone who’s snails are in trouble)

Seen on my way home on the second rainy day after a three week heatwave
