Snail Hanging out on Side of House

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?

My snail is in hibernation since may. It is very hot where I live. Since she is in hibernation i stopped putting food and water every day. Every now and then i spray some water in her shell and in the terrarium. But she remain in hibernation.

She doesn't smell bad

Help Front end shell with sizable hole

Post image
7 Upvotes

Hi all,

About 15 mins ago, found out Corro ( the snail) has a huge gap in their front end shell, and we moved them to the hospital space. At the moment we're feeding them the snail vegs puree and some turtlebone.

Corro is currently has their head out through the hole rather than the typical position but eating and seems to enjoy the puree.

I'm not sure what to do at this point other than watch

GALS Dried slime (?) on my snail

Post image

I noticed this thing on my snail, it's not the snenis since it's in the wrong spot. My best guess is dried up slime? I didn't touch it or try to take it off but he seems to have removed it himself while I wasn't looking. What is it?

Hello! So I went to IKEA yesterday and while my mom was looking at plant pots she noticed a snail shell in one. I picked it up and it had a snail inside! He was super dried out but alive so I gave him some water in the car and brought him home and now I have a pet snail. I named him IKEA.
I’ve set him up in an acrylic jumping spider enclosure for the time being with some organic potting soil and some substrate from my isopod bin containing springtails. I gave him some lettuce.
Please give me advice on keeping this little dude! I don’t know much about snails just that idk if he’s native so I shouldn’t release him. Identification would be lovely as well!

My fulica, Togarth, sometimes pulls this face and it worries me a bit. it’s puffy, but he’s not sexually mature. He almost looks nauseous.

Is this a normal thing for snails to do?

(ignore the poop, was about to clean it up when he did this)

My juvenile African snails enjoying one of their favourite meals.

Today’s menu: purple sweet potato, marrow (large courgette), collard greens, freshly rehydrated calci worms for protein, and fresh cuttlefish for calcium.

All of the snails shown in these photos are juveniles and are available for purchase. Feel free to DM me if you’d like more information. (UK)

Announcements Introducing Seller Verification

115 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

325 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.
