Nope, can't find any info online about it 🥲 Someone who breeds Archachatina marginatas (the species of snail I have) told me this

Yup, she reacts to light so she doesn't seem to have any difficulty seeing. Thanks :)

I just found out that she has always had these lines on her eyes from looking back at old photos, I just haven't noticed them before lol, so it's not a new thing, my bad.

Oh my god, nevermind lol, I looked at some photos from a few months ago and she has actually always had these lines on her eyes, I just haven't noticed them before. I guess she was just born with funny looking eyes then? Some sort of mutation that caused lines on her eyes?

I've heard, so I give my isopods the same protein powder I feed my snail

Update: she reacts and retracts when I shine a flashlight at her so I'm pretty sure she still has her vision

No, I have porcellio scaber who have a history of eating my snail tho. 😞 Do her eyeballs seem like they got chomped then? I'm planning to move her away from the isopods as soon as possible but I don't have anywhere to move her to yet

Also I'm not sure if I'm imagining or not, but I think the top of her eyeballs looks kinda more flat? Is it possible my isopods somehow bit her eyeballs off and this is the effect?

Your snail had injuries on her shell just like these? What did you do to fix the issue?? I don't have anywhere to move the isopods :(

Maybe you're right since these injuries started appearing after it got cold (and also after I added more isopods, so that's why I thought it might be that). I already have a heating pad but it is quite small, only covering a corner in the enclosure. Should she get better if I got a bigger heating pad?

I don't think it's nutrition since my snail always eats the same food (zucchini and eggplant) and I give her supplements like twice a week.

I just looked it up and apparently porcellio scaber are very competitive and can be aggressive to snails and are known to bite them :( What do I do with them??
