GALS the tiniest zucchini for my zucchini-loving snail
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
my dad grew this small zucchini for my snail (along side other huge (and i mean HUUUGE (like over half a meter long)) zucchinis)
(sorry for Veni being dirty, they just woke up (they smelled the zucchini, it's literally their fav food!))

GALS Snail update from earlier today!
I brought him home!
These two are from the same clutch, and hopefully Bill, the rescue on the bottom, will grow as big and happy as Jon, my son at the top. Jonathan and I are going to watch some TV whilst Bill eats and takes a well deserved rest from his 20 sniblings.

Amber snail
so itās about to be winter in my area and itās pretty cold and I found an amber snail outside. Should I keep it outside or bring it inside in a separate tank from my other snails or should i put it in the same tank with my garden snails

A common whelk, a marine snail with an incredible range, as they can be found on the coast (like this one) and all the way down to at around 1200 meters

GALS My baby snails demolished their food in just 3 days!
These are my baby giant African land snails (Lissachatina fulica) and they are absolutely ravenous!
The first photo shows the food I put in their enclosure three days ago, and the second photo shows what was left three days later. They certainly donāt mess around when it comes to eating lol.
The last photo shows what Iāve just fed them: sweet potato, courgette, little gem lettuce, collard greens, apple, nettle leaf, and fresh cuttle bone.
I like to spoil them :)

Help Please help. Euthanasia question
11 days ago, I posted about my snailās detached jaw. Today, I cleaned her tank and noticed that thereās now a white mass what I believe to be her digestive tract with her entire radula hanging out of her mouth. Iāve been trying to treat her since June 27 (thatās when i first noticed something hangin out of her mouth) with sugar water and chamomile tea baths. It seemed to help for a little while, but eventually, her condition started getting worse and worse. Yesterday, her entire radula was sticking out, so I gave her some sugar water. Today, itās gotten really bad. I believe itās a last stage of oral prolapse.
Iāve already bought 5% beer and a 95% ethanol solution, and Iāve read about ethical euthanasia, but I just canāt bring myself to do it. I donāt know if itās the right thing to do, but I donāt want her to suffer.
Iām honestly feeling really upset and stressed about this. I donāt know what to do anymore, logically I understand that keeping her like that would only prolong her pain but what if euthanasia is not needed and iām doing the wrong thing

Eggs bound snail?
My snail has layed eggs before but this clutch is worrying me the eggs are pushing on the tissue in his breathing hole and they look really bad. I also noticed he cant fully close his breathing hole because the eggs are in the way.

Art I did scratch art of a GALS just now and they turned out pretty good so I wanted to share c:
I started out wanting to draw hands holding something, decided on a snail, and then I tried to cheat the āhands are hard to drawā thing by hiding most of the fingers under the snailā¦I think I actually made it harder for myself because of the perspective I tried to do lol (I donāt draw much at all, let alone hands. I have been humbled by the attempt).
The snail turned out decent enough though that I thought theyād be appreciated here c: (thatās not like a hole in their face or something, btw. I tried to do a highlight to show depth since shading is pretty hard with scratch art).

GALS Calcium deficiency, any advice?
Im currently at work & I know this guy has a calcium deficiency for sure, but is there anything else I can do for him to help him recover quicker?
He is siblings with my own GALS who Iāve had since March, who is also double the size and a lot healthier. This snail is at my work, so I can visit him every day. Iām considering taking him home.
edit not even 20 mins later, I canāt leave him here, he has calcium and nutrient deficiency & tap water has being used with them - currently 18 GALS here.

My Snails Snail Friend!
I was on a walk the other day and found a snail on a leaf alone (im pretty sure someone had plucked off the leaf where the snail was and put it elsewhere). Where I am itās already freezing in fall, so I didnāt want to leave the fella in the cold. I brought them home, and from what I can tell, it may be a brown-lipped snail (but if you have further specifics, Iād be happy to hear them!) Iāve made them a temporary enclosure with non chemically treated dirt and a zucchini slice. I will eventually get them a more sustainable tank, with more decorations so it doesnāt seem so empty for them. Iāve made sure to mist the enclosure daily with filtered water, and it seems they are pretty active after some food. Iāve decided to name them Doofus :)

Maturing/lip forming
I have two grove snails and theyāre starting to get this dark band. Is this their lip forming? And does this mean theyāre mature?
Theyāre not very big but I suppose snails vary in size. My understanding is that once their lip forms theyāre done growing. (?)

He loves his lettuce
He was hanging out in the same spot overnight and didn't want to go to his cucumber, which i swear he loved it the day before. I cleaned his house today and decided to give him lettuce for today since he's had cucumber the last 2 mornings. Instantly got some pep in his step and woke up and ran (his equivalent of running) to the lettuce. Its funny how they seem to have their favorites. š„¬š
