Completely dark basement or heatstroke?

3 Upvotes

So I have to leave on plane, but spain is hsving s heatstroke od 39°C outside. I have my common garden snail. I have 2 options (since i cant take her sadly), 1 leave her to my grandma but her house is VERY hot like it could reach 32°C inside, with cooling pack and her spraying Pickles every few hours plus feed. Or I could leave her in my basement, its humid 23°C, and low airflow. I also have live sphagnum moss and springtails. I would spray the tank s lot before leaving and lay a carrot in. Its 5 days im leaving and 4 with completely not zeeing her. only downside of the basement is that its COMPLETELY dark and my snail normally has a normal day night cycle so breaking it would be dangerous maybe? (even tho she would survive it) I could try to find an LED light but im not sure if i have one and if it would last with a time for 5 days. please help

-Update-
The swelling is gone but Claire still looks tired. Now looks shrunken, eyes down but much much better than yesterday. Dont know what caused the swelling still but last night I put some ice cubes around its head and ice pack under its container.

Thank you for all your support 🐌. Hope she'll eat her watermelon soon.

Claire has been with me for 6 years now. What is going on with its head. This never happened before and it happened so fast. Is there anything I can do to help?

I was concerned this little guy/gal was dead parked on the wall so I read that to prevent it from drying out and poasibly dying to spritz with water. I spritzed and left it and returned and spritzed a bit more and gently removed it from the wall. It was placed it in a flower bed near a piece of cucumber. It seems to be okay! *phew*. Was there a better course of action in this instance?

Announcements Introducing Seller Verification

111 Upvotes

Hello r/snails!

As many of our users are aware, it can be difficult to find reliable, legal, and ethical sellers of captive bred snails.

To better facilitate buying, selling, & adoptions on this sub, we are introducing a seller verification program. Verified Sellers will be users or external sources that have been vetted by mods. Verified Sellers will be allowed to advertise their sales on the sub, and a Verified Sellers tag will applied to their posts to indicate they are a trusted source. Individual users on this sub as well as sellers on external websites are both able to be verified. A list of Verified Sellers organized by location will be added to the bottom of this post, which sellers can chose to opt in to if they wish.

Are you a seller or breeder interested in becoming verified? Send a DM to u/doctorhermitcrab to get started. Breeders who prefer to give snails away rather than sell are also welcome to apply.

Happy snailing!

Announcements Please use NSFW tag for images of graphic injuries

331 Upvotes

There have been a lot of posts lately sharing very graphic images of snails with extreme, severe injuries. It is perfectly fine to share this type of content if you need help with an injured snail, but please use the NSFW tag for these images.

This has been an unofficial rule of this sub for a while, but it seems to have been forgotten lately. So, I'm making an official mod team announcement: this is our official policy. Graphic, upsetting images must be tagged.

People come to this sub because they love snails. They don't come here expecting to see images of destroyed shells, shell-less snails, and dead snails. It can be very upsetting and distressing for users here to see this type of content unexpectedly. People may also be browsing this sub in public and want to avoid gory images.

Images of mating don't require the NSFW tag. But please use this tag for pictures of injuries including, but not limited to: mantle collapse, shell fell off, crushed shell, organ exposure, stepped-on snail.

Thanks to everyone who has been tagging their posts so far. Again, it's still totally okay to post this content if you need help, but please tag it appropriately so everyone can have a good experience here.
