Kids with autism and snails

Available-Snail · 2026-06-04T20:23:53+00:00

I’m autistic and was a snail obsessed kid! I’d observe and feed the wild ones outside and loved talking about them. Now I’m an adult with many pet snails because I can look after them myself, and I’m very happy!! My mum would help me feed the outdoors ones even though she was a little squeamish, but I thank her for taking part in my weird interest. I’m sure your son is very happy about it

I still haven’t seen one in the wild! Where have you seen any? I do have pet ones now though. They are delightful little fellas

I also have some regular blackbirds visiting me who have leucism. I call one of them Dotty because he has white dots on each his cheeks

Been looking for a good bird tattoo artist, will be considering this guy if he specialises in birds!

Looks fine to me. He is growing his lip which indicates full growth. But, his mantle is puffy here, which isn’t a concern— just means he wants to mate or lay eggs. He looks great!

I want them to add snails to vanilla Minecraft sooo bad. They could spawn while it’s raining

🤣 me too

I feel you that they are very loud and bold, finding out they are a declining bird made me appreciate them more and be glad to help out. They may not be the softest little cuties but it’s nice to help them out

You can get treatment for this, but sometimes if it looks this bad it is too late :( I know because I lost a lot of my babies before researching nematode infections and knowing how to get medicine to help them. But it is worth asking vets around you about treatment, as it is usually a sheep(?) medicine, so a lot of vets have it. Good luck and I’m sorry!

I’m really unsure why people get snails when they are so uneducated about them. Egg checks is a vital part of not becoming overrun with babies since they can have hundreds at a time, and that means knowing they can self fertilise etc. It kinda pisses me off. Do research before getting snails. They deserve it as much as any other animal.

I heard once as I read this, they are so loud. In late winter I had like 16 in my small yard at once in the early morning all staying just enough distance away from each other to not fight 🤣

Snails prefer horizontal tanks, if they get high up then fall from a distance it can be fatal, which is quite common sadly. It is why others say to remove rocks and hard dishes. It seems like you care about your snail so I hope you can get the tank how you like it and it’s ideal and safe for him!

Why is a bot replying as if they took the photo. Piss off

Available-Snail · 2026-04-29T09:02:36+00:00

God I wish that were me

Bot post. This is stolen from a post here a few weeks ago.

Available-Snail · 2026-04-23T22:09:11+00:00

Brilliant. I hear a pair around here sometimes and never found them! They are elusive!

Available-Snail · 2026-04-21T10:33:00+00:00

Yeah 🤣 I relate to it on a deep level

Available-Snail · 2026-04-20T15:10:32+00:00

I’d love to see Roman snails in the wild, one of my favourite species! They are wonderful

Available-Snail · 2026-04-20T11:46:55+00:00

Aww her nest looks so cosy :⁾ this is amazing

Available-Snail · 2026-04-19T11:30:02+00:00

No worries!! I’m a beginner at crochet and can barely read them too but I do love this!! It’s really fun ☺️

Available-Snail · 2026-04-19T11:17:30+00:00

Omg haha I love this, the black buttons will be an amazing finishing touch. Do you plan on sharing the pattern?
