    You should totally introduce spring tails. they are tiny beneficial insects that eat mold, algae, snail poop, rotting plant matter, and anything that can harm your snails. There is a lot more benefits to them and are pretty easy to cultivate.

    Little tip to make the terrarium longer lasting- Use some garden rocks for drainage, then put window screen mesh to separate the dirt from the rocks. Home depot usually has all that stuff for cheap! Drainage in a humid environment is very important to prevent mold/rotting. You can also try mixing in a bit of sand, bark and dried moss into the substrate for a really natural look. Consider leaf litter and acorn caps on the top as well :)

    When I was like 5 years old I lived in Brooklyn. I found a snail on a porch in the sun under a bench, so I took it home. I loved that snail. I went home and made him a plastic habitat, decorated it, threw in a bunch of leaves, sticks and stuff (I had no idea what snails liked hahah)
    I moved to NJ since, but I still have never found a snail in the wild since that day.

    It's true that there isn't a lot of information on snail care on the internet, unfortunately!
    I personally own my own Facebook group called garden snails where we share a lot of tips if you need any ^-^
    I'd personally not recommend the mushrooms. Since they are a hard surface, they could fall from the lid onto it, and break their shells. You could also put some moss on it to make it a little softer.
    But all of that aside, welcome to the hobby!

  • @Amelia92CB
    @Amelia92CB Před 3 lety +6

    Ive had 2 african snails before and i would always keep a shallow dish in with them because they like to bathe and drink from it. also i would always have a thicker layer of substrate because they like to burrow but they were pretty big so needed more lol. one last tip is to keep on top of the eggs because if you dont you'll be over run with snails in no time!

    Snails and hermit crabs can live in Eco earth, which is pretty much the same thing that you have. Fish flakes are a nice snack and they can eat fruits and vegetables, just nothing with salt and no citrus. Citrus will kill the snails, and this is the pretty much the same for hermit crabs if anybody’s wondering..
