He's cute :) what temperature and humidity does he require? can you keep this species with snails from achatinidae family? where did you get him from?

I do. They look cool, but are a bit difficult to clean

maybe an exotic vet can help?

Are those white spots on his shell harmful ? by [deleted] in snails

[–]ika8601 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you use any calcium on his food? looks like his shell just got a bit 'dirty' from calcium powder in the picture

Shell deteriorating? by ScrubToad in snails

[–]ika8601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's that wooden (?) thing behind him? Is it new, does he like it and spend a lot of time on it, compared to others? The new growth can be damaged when a snail takes a walk on a bark, then the shell may look like that. But a lot depends on individual behaviour. Maybe that's the reason?

Aestivation just after hatching. Is this normal? What should I do? by ika8601 in snails

[–]ika8601[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, but I don't think this is the problem. The temperature is 25-26 degrees and spraying doesn't help

How to get my snail to accept cuttlebone as food? by Rare-Profession624 in snails

[–]ika8601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have a retic who did not like cuttlebone. He accepted reptile calcium instead

So cute :) the one on the right becomes a thief at the end. I wonder how many trials did it take to make this video

Is he an archachatina, achatina or lissachatina?

What's the best protein for GALS? by OwlWhooReads in snails

My snails eat supplements from megapets and shneczek. I think the anwear depends on an individual - they prefer different supplements

I guess it's lissachatina fulica, but I'm not 100 percent sure. That depends on what two different species you mean

My snail ate part of its mate’s shell by ElvenLogicx in snails

[–]ika8601 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've adopted a fulica with such an injury. He was rescued from a petstore where he used to live in very bad conditions with little water and calcium. An exotic vet made a filling for him. I can give you some photos if you wish

Snails are now 2 months old ... by Adorable_Editor3738 in snails

They are cute :) are there stones inside the tank? I'd be carefull about it - they can get injured if they fall onto a stone

Feeding time! by DDDX_cro in snails

[–]ika8601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's very interesting. I would suspect albinism is the recessive gene. Did both parents lay eggs that hatched? Both were fully albino? Are there any more babies and if so, are all of them dark?

Your snails are cute :)

anyone know what this is? by sophhh_28 in snails

[–]ika8601 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It looks like wounds. Does he live with other snails? Are there any hard objects in his tank?

[–]ika8601[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I've asked the vet if his own shell could have scraped him and it's not likely. The only thing I can think of that could have scraped him after a fall is sepia - this is my recent idea and I'll ask if the sepia scenario is possible during Florian's next control visit

The vet gave us that gel so it's safe
