2024-06-02 05:26:18 UTC guys i just wanted to update you after my lats snail post that may have been worrying!
today we were in the city that were moving to for a relative and we decided to get some stuff for my snails! we got a bigger terrarium to fit all 3, we got a cuttlebone for the broken one and ive kind of isolated the big one in the old terrarium for kind of doctoring until he gets all better
meanwhile the other 2 are getting adjusted to their new home like before, and ive been thinking of putting a branch in so they have something to climb on! ive been doing some research and thinking of getting rid of the fake plants and just getting some real leaves or plants or something just so they feel at home, because they did just get kind of kidnapped
anyways, snails:

Woah, you have snails? Neat! Do they all have names, or are they just snails?
big guy is snaley, like from omori
midsize guy is turbo
the newest and tiniest is shellddon
Dang I wish I could take care of snails like that, always loved them
Went against my nature and never ate one, them little things are too cute to assassin.
Juancho.
you should take care of one! i dont know what types of snails you have where you live but the most common is garden snails! theyre the ones you see in the turbo movie
they typically come out at night, after its rained, and you can see them in your garden or something
all you really need is a decent sized tank, a water bowl, a food bowl, some soil, a hideyhole and a spray bottle with water because they like it wet
you can add some other stuff though like leaves and branches for some greenery and for them to climb on but aside from that its pretty easy
i will warn though, you need to use like, fresh spring water, like get one of thsoe big gallon jugs or smth
tap water can be okay i guess but it may have some like idk gremlin diseases in it or smth that might be harmful
Gotcha, I’ll look into it! I’ve always fancied snails while my family eats them ;-; (hate Spain for that)
I’ll deffo look for some nice sized tanks and try to capture some or get them from a retailer 😈
the new snail tank i got is 14.76Lx8.66Wx9.45H
something like that should be good, i got it from petsmart its the uhh the LARGE CRITTER TANK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if youre getting them from a retailer you might be able to get some cooler snails like mystery snails, though they might be more expensive or something
id love to help you more with your journey though! update me thoroughly!
I WILL.
also damon! you cant really get toys for them as im sure you figured, but the best way to interact wit hthem is to lightly stroke their shell, or to just hold them regularly if you can
letting them run around in your palm and hand may be a good way for them to get used to you
something else is that, they smell and taste by touching with their face tentacles, so if you wanna get them to like, smell you like a dog, you can try to hold your finger infront of them
another thing ive seen is you can try to stroke their actual skin??? wouldnt suggest that as it could be damaging but if you do only do it occasionally like once every couple of weeks and make sure ur hands r clean!
HEHE SNAILS ARE SO FUNNNN!! TY JADE
YEAH IM ALWAYS HAPPY TO HELP! SNAILS ARE SUCH BEAUTIFUL CREATURES THAT NEED TO BE REPRESENTED MORE WE LITERALLY GOT LIKE *1* MOVIE AND IT WAS TURBO :SOB:
ASK ME ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE THEM I KNOW LIKE ATLEAST 75% OF WHTA THERE IS TO KNOW ABOUT TAKING CARE OF GARDEN SNAILS
i figure it would also be important so i just need to say this!!!!
Fresh vegetables and fruit only
they dont like meat, nor cooked food so only raw vegetables and fruit
calcium is also a plus so what i do is just my mom ordered this paste online to go along with the vegetables
if you want you can get a cuttlefish bone too lol theyre at like walmart and petsmart
they dont like any citrusy stuff so lemons, oranges and stuff like that is a no go
but yeah most vegetables should be ok just google it to make sure
or
wizard it (me)
De’ snail caretaking is in my blood.
I’ll make sure them small fellows are well hydrated.
Those lessons I took on osmosis 6 years ago are gonna pay off now HEHE
also by the way you should uhhhh get soil that isnt for flowers
substrate basically
what i got was this giant coconut brick smth from petsmart
sorry i have an urge to help
Nah it’s fine, I love the enthusiasm
