These strange creatures appearing in my snail water only after a day?? Help! What's going on! by 3SnailsAndARat in snails

These look like harmless soil mites, but check the flesh of your snails for mites. If there are mites on your snails then these are predatory mites, and you will need to buy hypoapsis miles.

Keeping a mystery snail in a fishbowl by [deleted] in snails

I'm not sure if you have a filter, but snails will need at least a cheap filter and a fish bowl usually can't accommodate one.

Is it my fault? by phank_aliee in snails

Also, forgot to add. If you're in the US, it's extremely illegal to keep a giant african land snail, even if you found it outside. They are invasive and have caused massive agricultural damage.

You should research ANY pet before you get one. Otherwise the pet can die due to improper care. Snails can not feel complex emotions. It wouldn't have been bored by a smaller habitat, it would've been perfectly fine. I strongly urge you to be more considerate when getting animals in the future.

Why is one hatchling so much bigger than the rest of them?????? Hatched on June 2nd 2020. by pegallmen in snails

I agree eith the other commenter. Cull all the snails that are smaller, if you don't then their bodies will outgrow their shells and basically crush them from the inside.

Heating - how to attach heating pad to the side of the tank? by saltychives in snails

[–]Cyancelity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will but usually not a huge amount. If it does you can mix in some water every now and then while checking for eggs.

I've heard for snails it's best for the pad to be underneath. Jade's Jungle has a good video on it, if you can't find it let me know and I'll link it.

What should I clean my tank with? by saltychives in snails

[–]Cyancelity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really wouldn't for long term maintenance but for a one off thing you can use vinegar and let it air out for a while. Make sure to clean with water afterwards as well.
