Feeding a Tarantula snails?

That would be Phormictopus cochleasvorax.

Yeah

I've never heard of a tarantula eating a snail. I don't think they're physically designed for it; their fangs will at best be unable to penetrate the shell and at worst get broken. They have no way of getting a snail in defensive mode out of the shell either, unlike, say, dwarf pufferfish which can just suck the body out of the shell.

In short, I'm guessing you shouldn't do it.

Ive done it, it is indeed able to eat a snail easily as well. (A geniculata)

Is there anything they won’t eat ?

You must live far away from pesticides, but parasites can still happen . Even if wildcat was safe, there’s not enough bugs here I’d have to buy them regardless.
