Hi! I was posting because my snail is worrying me. I have a small garden snail (Helix Aspersa) who just recently sealed herself in her shell and I wanted to know why (first time she's ever done this, though I've had her for no more than a month). I have a hydrometer in the tank and the humidity is usually at 70%, though when I wake up sometimes it's dropped to 65% but I always respray it until it gets back to 70. Im in an apartment complex where I don't control the temperature but the thermostat is always around 71 degrees F. I feed her every day, usually carrots, but sometimes other food like fruits and very rarely spinach. She's usually very active at night but more sleepy during the day and likes to rest. I don't have a water bowl in her tank as I heard it may cause them to drown, but I do have cuttlebone and everything else. There's no climate control like a heat lamp/pad for her tank. I figured the temperature and humidity were good enough for her, but apparently not as she's sealed into her shell. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks so much for the help!
