Keeping snails

[schnautzr]

Have you guys had any difficulties or issues in keeping them? I'm probably going to collect a Zachrysia provisoria (Cuban garden snail) or a Leatherleaf slug to keep.

So far, so good. The lettuce leaf, rainwater, pebbles, and antacid tablet haven't killed it yet, and it's still living strong. It's shell has also transformed quite amazingly from an ugly, rough, rocklike structure to an amazingly detailed spiral like it ought to be, so I'm guessing I'm doing something right.

The lettuce is disappearing First I've seen that snail come down from the lid.

Lol...the snail ate your cardboard box?

Yup. Hehe, they'll eat about any plant-based material if nothing better is around.
