I put a coconut out for my snails and I just saw the biggest one taking bites out of the coconut.
The coconut was sanded and boiled; I'd never seen him eat coconut that way.

*petted i don’t have snail pets but see a lot of people here petting then. Do snails really intrinsically like that? like is this known academicall? Or do they just don’t mind?

the snail i’m worried about is the little one. they’re the same age yet they’re far smaller then their sibling… the little one is very very inactive. i feel like they do not eat much, they’re both in the like juvenile age. they have a constant source of calcium (a bigger cuttlefish bone among with smaller ones scattered) their substrate is coco coir with calcium added to neutralise the acidity. the picture shows less than half the enclosure other side has places too hide big guy seems to be doing well and does eat a fair amount not as much as i’d think he needs too. they have a heat mat on the back right side of the enclosure. the smaller one is quite far retracted in the shell but i can still see them. when i got them they both where roughly same size the little one being only slightly smaller. the little ones always been shy and less active but it’s gotten worse. i don’t see the little one move but occasionally she moves locations when i open the lid the next morning. i think ill try check up on her by putting her in some shallow warm water. i’m mainly concerned little one is far smaller then the big guy. also being so inactive compared to big guy and being quite far retracted in the shell.

Like is he good he's been doing this on and off for a month now. But it will unpuff and he'll move around if I mist him a bit.

Hello, I rescued a giant African land snail recently. I knew nothing about them so learning as I go but ended up taking it home from a rescue situation where he was separated due to a rescue of 190 snails, I’ve had lots of tips and advice already but always open to more. I have no idea what type of GALS it is but was told it was juvenile and wouldn’t produce eggs for a while. I know it’s my fault but due to this I haven’t been thoroughly searching for eggs. Today I got up to a lot of babies, I didn’t realise my GALS was big enough to be sexually mature. I have no idea if it was ever kept with other snails before I got it. Google seems to say that my snail shouldn’t be able to reproduce as of yet so I’m very confused. I do understand that I need to cull eggs and babies and I am accepting of that, I’m just asking for some clarification on how this guy has managed to produce babies. I have added a few pics of my snail to see if anyone has any idea on how old it may be or what special it may be.
Ps. Its name is Gary

Hello! I'm currently getting bits so setup my new baby's tank, I really want to make it bio active with springtails and isopods. I'm not sure which breeds of isopods would be suitable, I don't want to have some that overbreed and lead to me having to get rid of some, and I've also seen that some breeds can bite the snail??
I'm also wondering what plants would be suitable for the setup
I'm quite new to all of this so I would appreciate any help!

one of th malso seemingly tried to get out? there are some film flakes nearby. it's pretty cold in my house, I have heat mats for both of them. one side of the coir is wet because the heater doesn't reach it, the other is more dry. there's a lot of condensate on the walls and the lids, the humidity is 98. should I lower the humidity?

Hi! New snail owner here! I recently found 2 garden snails inside at my job from plant deliveries about two weeks apart from one another. I currently have them separated. Do I need to quarantine them before putting them together or would it be safe to do so now?
Thanks!
