How can i get my giant african snail to lay eggs when theres just 1 snail, she laid eggs one time with a mate but her mate died and she hadnt laid eggs for a year, can i get her to self reproduce?
He is hangin on to the fern pot but he looks a little crumbly on the side. He was just sliming around a bit ago so I know he was alive, but I’m worried about what I’m seeing. Also just wondering what that is and what causes it?? Thanks in advance!
i have a large cave hideout in my tank and i'm thinking about switching it out with something smaller because it's so big that i can't check on the snails inside with ease, and im worried that they might get ton comfortable in there and won't come out
My snail fell off the aquarium and broke the shell. What do I do?
Im new with snails. I added 3 apple snails to my fresh water aquarium. But sometimes they love to get out and go back the water.
I have a garden snail. It's a little bit older than a year old.
I've just looked into it's little house and thought that he was inside it's shell, but then I looked closer, and saw that it was NEXT to the shell. The shell is completely empty. Its inner organs are still attached to it's body.
I thought that well, that's it, it has passed away. But no, it's still alive. The poor thing is right now going up it's little house like it usually does.
I don't know what to do. I'm guessing that its about to die, right? But how long will it take? Will it suffer? Should I speed the process? And how do I even do that? What could have caused him to get out of its shell in the first place?
Help...
I’ve kept around 14 eggs and crushed then froze the rest. I have placed them in a small tub (with holes poked in the lid) the tub is a bit smaller then the palm of a hand, and I have buried them in soil and placed a damp paper towel on the lid of the container. It is right now in my snails exo terra enclosure to keep it nice and warm. Am I doing it right?? If not what should I do, sorry I’ve been keeping snails for over a year now this is just my first batch of eggs. Any help is appreciated! 💕💕
Ive had 2 african landsnails for about 2 years now. they are about 4 yo. today i noticed that one of them has their shell turning white? help what do i do
I moved it because the chooks came running to see what I was looking at was just curious what type it is haven't seen one like it before and quite big
I would love to create a list of every species of snail found in California! Why? I love snails and would love to find all of the species in California. For this I am not including slugs. If you know of a snail that is for sure found in California I would love to know either common or scientific name! If you know of multiple snails, or maybe subspecies that would also be great! I am hoping to include snails also found on islands, like the Catalina island mountain snail. As long as it's a snail, and it is found within the California boundary it will work. Thanks in advance!
Ain't he cute?
I would like to get some snails I am by Pittsburgh so if anyone has snails by there dm me
