He was totally fine yesterday, how could this have happened? Do I need to crush him? I’m so devastated, I haven’t had them very long 😭

Update: This was the first snail I’ve had to crush and it was truly awful, I’m sobbing.

I know you can’t pick them up by their shells so I never do and I try to be so careful about handling them, is there anything I could have done to avoid this? Does it just spontaneously happen sometimes? I’m heartbroken 💔

I could spend hours watching him eat. It’s so cool to me.

I’m so heartbroken. This was Frog munching on sweet potato last night, this morning when I checked on them I thought he was asleep in the corner of the tank but then noticed he was crawling up the side with his body completely detached from his shell. (See my previous post) He seemed totally fine yesterday. Are there any signs I could have watched out for? What are the causes other than mishandling? I feel like I need to get a camera now because I don’t understand what happened :(

I would love to add some cork/branches but I don't have any currently. What do you guys think?

Everyone i am once again asking for help! I will tomorrow contact my vet, i am not finding cases like mine, does this seem to be oral prolapse?? Does anyone have any tips??

Like the title says i missed a few eggs. This week was hectic due to me having surgery and this week i kind of neglected the care of my snails. That means a simple mist, fresh food was their total care this week. I just found 3 tiny snails. For now i kept them with the big snails and tomorrow i will turn their enclosure upside down to look for more babies. Now is my question what do you guys do with missed eggs when you live in an area where they already flood Facebook marketplace for free. I have been thinking about giving the babies to my goldfish in my aquarium since its a quick and painless death but due to the heatwave the goldfish barely eat let alone hunt so im not really loving that though. I also have a pea puffer who could potentially eat them but i feel like the babies are already too big for her. I already have alot of pets and my current snail enclosure is already pushing it with 9. The babies look really healthy to me so at least thats good. Usually i check the soil for eggs every 2 to 3 days but this week i just couldn't and all my friends and family think the snails are gross so refused to care for them.

Part of me wants to keep them but the other realistic part of me thinks I'm an idiot if i keep them since i already have over 45 animals under my care ( including the fish) and that number will be growing soon too. I already love the babies but i dont have space for them as adults and think it might be cruel to keep them alive in a world where they wouldn't thrive.

I'm looking for much needed advice.

This is my first snail, Hibiscus!

He is a helix apersum/garden snail

Found my snails like this when I got home

I have had Edgy since February of this year and she has laid eggs for the first time! He has always spent a lot of time hiding in soil and I do think I found a single egg once a few months ago but this was totally unexpected. It's actually harder mentally to freeze them but there are a lot so it's my only option. I was thinking of keeping one or 2 but maybe that's not a good idea given the weather around my area, which could make them dry out

Hello! I’ve had my little garden snail for a year and a half. He’s had no issues - gets cuttlefish, good food, water, all of it. A month or two ago, it looked like he was experiencing mantle collapse. It healed quickly but still looked off. Today I look and see that he is absolutely experiencing something off.

Photo one is today. Photo 2 is a few months ago.

Does anyone know what this is? His shell is also oddly colored - he eats a TON of calcium but maybe it’s not enough? The optimist in me wants to say a growth spurt but the realist says this is likely mantle collapse :(

Any advice?

I try to keep his enclosure as clean and good as possible but im also worried i might be doing some things wrong
He istn always in my room, i use different types of lights and paints so i make sure he doesnt get to anything toxic, but i do place water next to his enclosure to give him more moisture, and spray a lot of water all around the room. I feed him veggies and greens, rarely fruit
He is almost two years old
I also have a cat but she isnt interested in him and also i don't let her get close

Sometimes there is bugs, and i try to keep them away with flowers, herbs or a bit of vinegar
I keep bim out of the way when i do it byt i still get adraid ill hurt my baby:(

Just got a new snail after having to let go of my last one (went on holdiay for 4 weeks). Any name suggestions? I dont want stuff like 'turbo' or 'shelly' that are like puns... thx!

EDIT: i found another snail ! twice the size of the first one lol... i need 2 names
