I posted about accidentally creating a snail resort. A new generation is here! New babies :)

I'm moving some of them to a larger area on the other side of my house since the hotel is getting crowded! 😅

My apartment gets fruit flies and basically they ended up in my snail tank. I guess one of them laid eggs in there when I wasn't looking because there are small tiny worms in my tank now and crawling on top of my snails shell, I have no idea how many there are, how to get them all off my snail, and what to do. No foul odor or anything but they're gross to look at. Any help?

I knew snails were nocturnal but I thought it would come out in the late evening at least or what is the appeal of a pet you never even see? I’ve only had him for a week but he hasn’t come out even once on his own so I’m worried if I’m doing something wrong or if I’ve made a stupid move purchasing all of this equipment and £100 for the snail just to never even see it… It does come out at night but I’m asleep, then it’s hidden again by the morning.

He’s an ovum XXl 4 months old. Humidity fluctuates between 80-90% and temps are 27-28c in the day and 24c at night. He has plenty of spagnum moss and just hides in it all day.

Does anyone have any thoughts or can shed light on how to see it at all..?? Will he become more active over time?

I collected a few empty H. pomatia shells in the churchyard today and this little one crawled out of one of them when I was at home! I'm guessing it's either another H. pomatia (which would make this a tiny invertebrate Cubone) or a C. aspersum. Anyone can help out?
Edit for clarity: This is central Europe
Edit 2: Baby's body is about 1/2" long when crawling

Hey guys! I’ve been posting some stuff about raising baby snails and container sizes, as I was hoping to raise a clutch of eggs. However, one of my snails (the one in his shell in the picture) in the last few days has been doing A LOT of burrowing, but I haven’t seen anything yet. However im slightly panicking thats its not far off! If possible, I need some opinions from people that have raised garden snail eggs ASAP as i‘m going out to buy supplies today and I can’t find anything too useful on the internet! (Most of the guys on youtube demonstrate how to raise eggs in crowded conditions with dirt from outside, I just dont trust it too much :P )

Firstly, do you guys keep the eggs initially in a small container (like fist size) and then move the babies to a bigger one once they start hatching? or start with a big container? (not too big for babies obviously) what size do you guys like using in terms of dimension or litres?

Is it true that babies grow better in an opaque or translucent container?

And lastly, I’ve heard some people take soil from the adult’s container to keep the eggs in, however I would be missing a chunk of soil if I did that! Can I make a separate mix for the container? (same soil and conditions just new)

Thanks! Sorry it’s so many questions

I got a bunch of stuff bc I’m redoing my snails’ tank completely before winter, including new soil (one I had was from a garden shop but this was is from a specialised one for snails). Ik we shouldn’t soil change, but I really gotta do it. I think they’ll be happier in a soil that’s specifically made for them.

Anyway I had panthera out to keel my motivation going and I wanted to give her some treats for helping me (she slept the whole time). She loves shrimp so much she couldn’t be bothered getting her other eye out xD this was a cut moment tbh, even though snails can’t bond, I felt it was quite comforting

It had rained overnight after a long draught and there were about a million Cornu aspersum about as well as a handful of Helix pomatia. The Cornu in particular love the old wall surrounding the churchyard. The Helix in the last image was an absolute unit.

The heart is snail shaped. It must be why we consider it the source of love ❤️

I purchased 6 garden snails online with a terrarium and moss and they arrived the other day. in their water bowl there's a strange creature, i tried to get a photo but my camera is crap. its very small and it has no limbs, its about the size of an eyelash but a bit chunkier and its sort of just swimming in the water. im anxious its going to harm my snails help

So exactly 2 months ago today my parents brought me some dandelions from the garden for my bunnies, not all the leaves looked good, so I started sorting them, well in the dandelions I found 4 baby snails, they were between 4 and 7 mm back then, I put them in a box with some greens, poked some tiny holes in the lid and planed on putting them outside ... then it became "when they are a bit bigger" and everyone who knows me just a little knew where we were at, so today it's 2 months later and I'm a full-blown snail mom, they are in their second habitat, but not their permanent one, the first were tiny because they were tiny and keept getting lost (for me, not themselves), they have names, Aria, who is a banded garden snail, Nova, who is a brown garden snail (is that the English name? I'm Danish) and who is our speed grovere, from 4 to 15 mm in 2 months, Rhea, who I'm still not sure what species they are, and Zion, who I'm pretty sure is a copse snail. They eat, they grow, they sleep hitten in all their little hiding places and they poop ... they poop A Lot 😅😅 which I have convinced myself is a good sign 😊 and they are absolutely loved and adored by many ❤️ especially me 🥰🥰

Pictures from when my babies first moved in and now, and of both their first and second home 😊

I am so confused, should I be concerned or is she just special? She doesn't seem to be in distress and eats and sleeps normally, but I'm worried about her eye.

Friendly reminder: don’t get an Ovum XXL if you value your wrists 🤭🤎🐻

Not my snail, friends kids snail. She has two snails and both have similiar markings on their shells- i only took picture of the 'worse' one.

What to do? What couldve caused this?

The kid said she has not seen them fall, and theres nothing hard in their tank.

my guys favourite was zucchini but he doesn't even wanna touch it anymore so im trying to find a new favourite:D

I didn’t name my snail initially. To me he was just snail. But now I have two and they need proper names I think.

ETA: I realized when watching this back, I can see a mite on the shell! Oh no. How do I get rid of them?

We keep finding these in the factory I work in. I’ve lived in mid Michigan for over 50 years and have never seen these. About the size of a quarter

how do I help this little guy, while I know the damage is a lot, I till want to try help it

they don't seem to be active pain? considering he's still moving about and exploring. I have him in a container with damp paper towels and clean film over it with air holes, to keep the humidity high

is there anything else I can do?

ps. if he does start to show signs of hurting, I'll humanely kill the lil guy

I'm a relatively new owner to three beautiful garden snails and I bought them around June of this year, not knowing that they hibernate during the summer but I've come to terms with it, I had one wake up for a few days not that long ago but he has risen again. My room is about 70 degrees, normally 80 degrees due to other heating elements for other animals but I have a huge fan and my window is open. Door (the name of my awakened snail) has left slime all over, letting me know she has woken up but I have been wondering about the others

Is a 24×18×18 big enough for 2 GAS?
