r/snail

I removed this thing that was sticking out of the snail's body, what can it be? She seemed like a parasite to me but I don't think so. Will there be repercussions on her?

Plz give tips. I found a garden snail 2 1/2 weeks ago and got it a terrarium. The humidity is good and I have leaf litter and everything else supposed to have, but I think the dirt is holding all the moisture in the bottom, no matter how much I water it the top dries out within a few hours. It has not came out from the dirt at all since I got it, but I did dig it out once after about six days and its hole was covered with the mucus or whatever. Should I dig the snail out to change it substrate to Coco ciore? Or should I wait till it comes out on its own. It hasn’t came out on its own yet tho. I don’t know if the soil is the actual problem, but it definitely is holding way too much water at the bottom and none of the top. Plz help. I don’t want the fella to die

This is Cilantro. Originally a wild snail I rescued from a grocery store. He’s been doing great with me so far (5 months). He’s a mature garden snail. Temps are around 70/75, humidity in enclosure stays around 80. Lately he’s been slower, not eating as much, and this is the first time I’ve seen him retracted so far.

Anyone know why or is he just reaching the end of his life span?

I'm undecided if they are a helix pomatia or a cornu aspersum

This snail does not like the ground whatsoever lol. Also I think they were a stripper or pole ballerina in a past lifetime 🤣 The moves and poses Ceil/Ciel be doing on a plant “pole”. And first time I ever see them go downward too. They only like to climb up. Hence their name.

I’m very new to snails (about 2 months) it started with me watching my cousins snails for her while she’s away and then I had a scare and thought one of them died so I purchased 2 to replace that one but they actually weren’t dead. That’s the one in the videos who I think is either trying to mate or being aggressive. The other snail is one of the new ones I purchased I noticed last night for the first time that they were doing what I thought was trying to mate but the other snail doesn’t really look interested and then they tried again tonight and again, the other snail doesn’t look interested. Should I separate them? I purchased an even bigger tank for all 4 of them and it’s arriving tomorrow but should I keep the 2 new ones in a different tank than the 2 my cousin has? Or is this normal and I’m just paranoid? The first clip in the video was from last night. The other 2 clips are from tonight. I wish I knew how to speed it up but I also didn’t know it wouldn’t post as separate videos.

Turkish Snail (Helix lucorum)

theres a lot of them
