My Snails Meet Q*bert!

I previously posted about my reentry to snailcare with my one eyed Herbie, and found this guy dried up on an apartment last night so I decided to make him my son.

Meet Qbie!🧡

Turns out after hydrating him that he also has a wonky eye! My chances of finding special babies are either higher or, its rougher out there than I thought. I also noticed he has less of a feeler on the right than the left?? So crazy.

Anywhosers, I am a happy Pa once again and our funky autistic family continues to grow🥲

Help Scar or something more serious?

Found this shy lil dude today sleeping stuck between a block of cement and a wall with this crazy shell. Never seen something like this before

Is it caused by a severe trauma he healed from or is it something more serious that could be life threatening?

I have him set up in quarantine away from my pet snails in a makeshift ' hospital ' enclosure where he hopefully can't get hurt and provided him some lettuce and calcium

Identification Do these look like different species of triodopsis?

I’m hoping to house them together but also don’t want to deal with snabies.

I feel like their teeth look slightly different but can’t tell if I’m just tripping. Does it look different to you? Last photo is from a journal article where they compare shells of different species of triodopsis.

Help Cleaning shells

Post image

Hello! I recently picked up a couple empty snail shells from outside for an art project. A majority have visible dirt in them and im unsure if some of them still have organs in them. (There's no bad smell, if that means anything.) I'm wondering on what the best/quickest way to fully clean them out is.

Help Mites or springtails?

Post image
3 Upvotes

These mites look pretty much exactly like soil mites, but they're brownish and jump. They all cluster beneath my GALS foot and food bowl. Google is saying springtails but I really don't see it and I never added this species

Edit: I checked to see if they actually jumped or if I was breathing too hard around them. After poking them a few times, they didn't jump but they ran quickly

I've had him for a while now, and his shell has fully closed up, aside from the mantle, so when do I know to release him, and how should I do it?

Snail with whitey shell after ~2 months hiding

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hey guys! So I posted here last week that Jerry had been hiding for about 2 months and was worried. Luckily he came out on his own today but had these white marks in its shell. Im new with snails so dont know much yet about shell issues. Could it be an acid substrate or lack of calcium during these months? He has a cuttlebone available but ofc he didnt eat it while he was hibernating. The substrate is just coconut fiber.

Any idea on what to do? Appreciate it 🫶🏼

Help Protein?

• Upvotes

Hello all! I just recently asked a few questions about getting a new pet snail and there’s been a development! I went to the pet store today and bought some supplies (coconut substrate, a little hiding hutch, cuttlebone, food and water bowls, and a 2.5 gallon terrarium) but I was unsure about what protein would be best. I brought some freeze dried mealworms up to the counter with me, but the employee told me that even when you rehydrate them, they are still sort of hard? So he recommended that I reach out to my local reptile supply store….unfortunately they don’t like to answer their phones, so here I am. I am not open to feeding the snail raw meat, which was why I originally opted for the mealworms! I have heard that feeding them boiled eggs could be an option, but I have also heard to not feed them anything cooked? This is the only thing holding me back from setting up the enclosure, because I want to have everything ready before setting it all up and finding the right little snail! Also let me know about the coconut substrate, it came in a block that I assume you rehydrate with water and it expands. The pet store also had a small enough bag of soil but when I took a closer look at the ingredients, it said it had sand in it which I figured wasn’t good.
