P.S.

My Happy Snails gives you FREE calcium sticks ….wait for it…….

EVERY TIME YOU PURCHASE FOOD!!
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

It’s a win win!!!

The food that you have is perfect.
It’s from Russia or somewhere close to that.
and if you smell it you will smell ground up bones and fish guts. 😳
Sorry to be gross 🤮 but that’s what they eat…
Who knows …. Maybe we have finally found Jimmy Hoffa??? 😱😱😱😱😱

Read and follow the directions because you have to remove it or it will get them sick.
(So it says)???

Just in a pinch you can order the ones I posted instead if needed. I use the one you have too.

Yaaayyyyyy!!!!!!
Tomorrow is THE DAY!!!!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳
One more sleep!!!
One more sleep!!!
😴😴😴

I know this is a snail thread, but I used to keep hermit crabs for many years.

I heard you had crabs when you were young Tammy???? 🤭🤭🤭🤭🫢

I mean…. How cool!!! 😎

My brother was the only one allowed to have hermit crabs because mom thought we would get bitten too much.
And if ya ever heard a little girl screamin’ & cryin …… no… nope… my mom was having none of that. Give it to the boy she used to say.. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

I ordered the same calcium sticks. They arrive Monday. In your opinion 12Lx8Wx6H is good for 2 snails?

I have a 10 gallon tank for Gary and he is quite happy.
It even too big for him but I wanted him to have room so he wouldn’t get bored.

Do you think 1 or 2 snails considering the size of the enclosure

Do you think I should only get 1 snail?

Nnooooooo!!!!!
Why would you get only one?
He will be so lonely.
I only got the one because he was found in a head of lettuce I bought to feed my tortoise. He fell out onto the floor and when I went to “throw out the rock” I noticed that it slithered away somewhere.
Realizing that he was a little snail that looked up at me and sniffed the air
(As if to say, “mom?”) I couldn’t just put him in the yard. He was just gonna be food for the first bird to see..
The rest is history…
I thought about getting him a friend but I don’t want to come home one day and find his head bitten off..
If you buy them in a pair or a group they get along just fine cuz they “know each other”
Sniff each other’s butts so to speak.
Gary was (I hate to say it but..)
A “one off”. He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time and got shipped in a case of lettuce to be sold to ShopRite.
Poor wee booger…
To boot, I hadn’t cut the lettuces till the next day!!!!!
So he stayed in refrigerator ALL NIGHT!!!
and part of the day too!!! 😭😭😭

I’m such a bad mom 👩😢

I think you are over thinking it.
You ordered two lovely snailies.
Be happy. You have all the right stuff and you’re a good parent. They are extremely fun and smart! You can teach them tricks!!
Don’t get scared now!
You’re fine!
You’re good!!
Now you are ONE OF US! 😵‍💫
ONE OF US 😵‍💫
ONE OF US😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

If you get 2, likely, you'll have 200 in couple of months. If you miss them laying eggs it will be literally a "baby boom".

First off…. 😱😱😱😱🫨🫨🫨🫨
And second off…
How cute would that be!!!!!
200 tiny snails walking around!!!

If I get too many, my box turtle will be happy. Just a joke but true. However snails can reproduce without a mate. So either way, he/she might as well have fun

I have Ink my leopard tortoise and Paxton my desert box turtle. I'm not getting them to feed Paxton. I just like them. I had guppies as pet fish. I thought I added another male. MY MISTAKE!! I did feed the babies to Paxton because there was about 50 overnight! Too many. I can manage the snail eggs, it called "clean them up." @OkAdiza I should have checked with you first.

I thought so too but sadly …no.
They cannot reproduce by themselves.

They have BOTH male and female parts, so they can pick and choose which
“parts they want to use” when mating but they cannot do it alone.
I was sad too!!!
I wanted grand children!!!!😭😭

😭😭😭
PAXTOOOOONNN!!!! 😫

I just can’t see feeding something that is already BREATHING AND HAS A FACE to another animal?????
Like feeding rabbits and cats to snakes…
I don’t get it and never will.
If they are already dead then I guess fine but to see some animal horrifically mutilated and painfully crying out for help and in complete agony is mind blowing for me. ANY ANIMAL.
Nature is nature and so be it..
But doing it intentionally???
I don’t understand people.
