Hannahraptor Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) Hi guys I realise this isn't plant related as such but I have a few lands snail babies available if anyone is interested. I've just finished creating a self managing bio set up for mine. I've got grey tropical woodlice as cleaner critters. Peat or coir can be used as substrate among other things. An old fish tank or vivarium is suitable accommodation. They are reasonably cheap to set up and easy to keep. The eggs can be fed to carnivorous plants (after freezing them for a few hours to humanely neutralise them). Some people also feed the hatchlings to reptiles and fish such as skinks and cichlids. I find them quite therapeutic to watch and have set up a little woodland in their tank, with a few extras (trolls). Sad I know.... Message me if you're interested. There is a small charge of £1.00 each for the snails and postage (UK only). I can provide advice on set up etc. Photographs below. Adult size is shown below.

JuanP Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 (edited) I've got the normal just under full palm of hand size outside in the garden. Please, don't let them escape to outside... They decimate in order of most expensive down to cheaper plants it seems. Haha Edited October 24, 2017 by JuanP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannahraptor Posted October 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Yep, it’s illegal to release them in the wild. Hence humanely destroying the eggs to avoid accidentally releasing live snails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snails may not be everyone’s cup of tea but they are loved pets to some people and he was in a very bad way. ☹️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
