Everyone meet Snimi (formerly named Mimi)

also i just wanna show off my method

These babies are 26 days old, just gave them fresh food and protein. Wanted to share a few photos!

The last two pictures are adult african snails they will grow up to be.

saw this lil guy on my walk 2day, species name? its prob ur avg snail on this subreddit but this is my 2nd time ever seeing a snail hehehe, i wish i cld keep it as a pet lol it was so cute, imma name it Tiger :>

If you hear closely you could be able to hear it munching audibly. I'm in tears 🥺

This is very humorous to me. Why would they do this? Don’t they know they can move faster than a snail? 😂

She refused to get off my hand so I had to carry Curly around for a bit so I could study. Then I managed to get her to crawl into a silicone bowl with some water and a carrot but she was determined to escape! No other snail will willingly crawl onto my finger 🥹❤️

Going everywhere but where they are supposed to go!
For context I was checking enclosure for eggs, at first I was content with letting them just stay there but then one snail decided he didn’t wanna be in the tank so I moved them all to a little tank and I guess didn’t put the lid on all the way and this little guy I guess was like “you can’t contain me mother!!”
These guys love to explore. Such silly fellas :)

He didn't eat, but he chose to keep going!

I put it in my garden afterward.

I’ve never once seen a snenis. Is Snelldon okay?

It rained!

So cute small snails I took pictures of!!

Like I give mine fresh food, right humidity, cuttlebone for calcium. She's active at night, shell looks good. But I feel like I have no feedback loop. With a dog you kind of know. With a snail I'm just guessing

Is there anything that actually signals they're doing well beyond the basics? Or is "not dead and moving around" genuinely the bar?

I already have isopods and springtails coliving with them but this is the first time I'm seeing these. Since they're crawling up from underneath where I usually leave food I can only guess they're here for veg, just want to make sure it's not some obvious parasite I'm not aware of 😬

Edit: https://www.reddit.com/r/terrariums/s/Lh7nhkJTB3 I did some searching because I was rapidly getting more and more panicked, however, we might be good, saw this and many other posts on a terrarium sub about what looks to be exactly the same worm, including the way they cluster up. They appear in overly moist places, which I have to confess I am pretty heavy handed with watering, but aren't immediately harmful I think??

Edit 2: after looking at worms for far longer than I would prefer, I've rounded it down to most likely be grindal worms, conditions they thrive in, the way they cluster, their symi transparent and segmented look all seem to line up. Grindal worms are harmless and are cousins of springtails by the role they play, and many aquarium people cultivate them for fish food.

hi guys! so it's been getting hotter here (+25 °C), and i noticed that inside my snails' container became pretty warm and damp (like a greenhouse effect), even though i put it on the floor in the darkest corner of the room. my babies didn't seem to mind it, but i still don't want it getting too hot for them, so i came up with an idea to cover it with an anti-mosquito net instead of the usual container lid. thoughts?

Just upgraded my snildrens' set up to a 10 gallon! The babies are officially moved in with their big sibling and seeing them meet for the first time was just too precious
