Snail Keeping

before my brain short circuits again from this fever and i forget for another month (winter sucks i take back everything i said about hating summer)

i’m going to aim to retire this blog and put any information you could need on my website

my memory is just getting too poor to keep up and i no longer keep bundles of snails. i’m sticking with my tarantulas and cacti and that’ll be it

basically i struggle to remember things, pretty much anything and everything, and that makes pet care hard when they need daily attention

whereas my spiders want me to piss off and take personal offense when i fill their water dishes so they don’t need someone to annoy them regularly and they also don’t produce mountains of waste and mold

now this is going to require me finishing my website and at the rate i’m going i’ll be 90 by the time that happens but if you need help with anything

try petsnails and snail tumblrs on here

dunno what else to say really

i suppose most blogs would go on about how great it was and stuff but

i can’t remember lol

i’m glad i could help people and show that snails are great little critters and more than just squishy garden pests

i’ve been real busy lately, room is being torn down so i’m sleeping in a tiny room with god knows what stacked up everywhere and i also got a new laptop so i’m still putting things in to place

if they have parasites you can remove yourself, you’ll see them. they’ll be crawling around their breathing pore and you’ll need to wash them out under the tap

snail won’t like it one bit, but they can hold their breath for a long time and you don’t want parasites festering in their shell

other infections: don’t have the foggiest. not really any snail vet stuff out there other than DIY and praying to the snail god

if your snail isn’t behaving normally, you can assume that they need checking over. bites mean they need new tank mates, parasites need quarantine, if their organs are coming out of their head you need alcohol, a needle and a strong stomach

sometimes a snail can prolapse through their mouth and it’s pretty hideous. a proven way of potentially (it’s been documented by the person who tried it) fixing it is to pierce the mass with a sterilized needle to relieve the pressure

medical grade works best but alcohol and a sewing needle will do in a pinch

Hi! sorry it’s been awful busy at my house lately, haven’t had much time to finish setting up my new laptop. another snail around his size would be perfect

i recommend that you look up a visual guide to slugs/snails in your state, and go from there. there should be pdfs or scans with gastropods for every state, if you’re lucky you might find a large species you can collect outside

hi so i havent logged in in ages and stuff long story and things i cant just share with like 1.7k internet strangers

here’s a new discord link if you want to chat snails or get help

the rules are don’t be a total dick

my noots are doing okay and my baby noot is growing up into a big baby noot

got a chest infection been sick on and off great fun

snails are doing well

found a large yellow underwing caterpillar yesterday which is now living next to my bed and enjoying a shitload of lettuce

I have a live Helix pomatia shails for sale. It really big - 45 mm diametr. Price $ 5 for one snail. If you buy 10 or more price $ 4 piece.

Best regards, Galyna.
