You can have all the snails I find in my garden.
Bastards love basically 3 things: lettuce of any size, young basil, and any kind of seedlings. Which makes impossible to plant anything from seed.

A garden I worked in tried to "train" the snails to stay in the forest, since they didn't kill them, but he snails always came back to get the plants.
Good post, much goblin.
I think i want pet snails now.
What are some snail quirks?
How do they maintain their shells? They canβt exactly reach around
You're correct. They secrete layers of calcium to grow it, but their glands can't reach the old parts of the shell, so it doesn't get repaired or maintained.
I like the idea of raising pet snails and other critters, but if you're also growing food wouldn't they eat all your shit?
"Garden Snail" refers to the species of snail.
You can keep them indoors in a glass terrarium habitat
I accidently got a population of snails in one aquarium, and they really added beauty and specks of interesting life on both terrain and glass. Their shells where tiny but pretty, and I can really see how nice larger ones would be in a terrarium.
I'm fortunate enough that I can just go outside in my garden in the summer to see them, but if I lived in a city that would definitely be a nice habitat to keep
Snails are a common pest in the aquarium community because itβs easy to accidentally transport a bajillion snail eggs home on that new plant you just bought.
I had a snail infestation that was beyond the point of my being able to manage it (without chemicals, which I wasnβt into) and had given up β¦ until I got a few pea puffers.
In a week they cleaned the whole tank.
I think it was just fun for them.
Little murder balls.
And now I'm judging how motivated I could be to get into this hobby.
