**Some land snail species are invasive so check your state and country laws regarding pets** This is my temporary terrarium for my land snails, moss and isopods! I hope you like my set up :)
Just so you know, you arent meant to put pill bugs straight into your tank from outside because they can carry stuff, also you need quite a few for them to be actually effective at cleaning up any messes your snail leaves.
Yeah that wasn’t my brightest idea, I work in research so for me it’s like an experiment. So far that single isopod has colonized and everything seems to be doing okay. Also the supplemental snail food helps with worms and overall snail health, so I was hoping it would compensate for my impulsive pill bug colony haha
Pretty sure the small bug you thought was a baby isopod is actually a “springtail”, they are super common outside and probably hitched a ride on your isopod or your hands (or maybe the moss when you fist out it in) but either way they are also a great clean-up crew member and will burrow in the dirt more than isopods do! Also if you can get a few more isopods, they are really awesome critters to watch, come in lots of colors and will be awesome cleanup crew, they also self regulate their population so you don’t have to worry if they reproduce since they’ll never outgrow the terrarium you have.
Awww I love this! My 4-year-old wants a snail pet! Please make more snail videos, like what you feed them and how you clean the terrarium and whatnot. Just some ideas. Thank you!! ❤️
The plant u got from the garden place on Etsy is healthy, just needs to be repotted! It’s huge for that size of pot so if it’s wilting randomly and putting out yellow leaves that’s probably why!
For a cheaper alternative you can use a food safe container, just make sure there’s air holes. Maybe, if the bowl is big enough and you have a vented lid. Snails will crawl out without one, they’re escape artists!
Put moss on hard objects they can fall and crack their shell.
I mentioned it in the video! The moss is a smart idea, thank you for watching
@@Danny.G Yeah cracked shells can be a serious injury and can lead to death.
@@Danny.G bruh you said it is what it is if they crack their shell which would kill them
this dude is high out of his mind, love it
He might be… but he’s like 21 and pretty smart…

This is super helpful! I’m looking into getting burgundy snails and there isn’t really much information on how to keep them. 💛
Right! That’s why I wanted to make this video, I’m obviously still learning but there’s not much out there. Im glad I was able to help 💚😊
Hey, i would suggest joining the slugs and snails amino. Thats where i got most of my info from.
Thank you! I’ll check it out!

I love watching videos like these I have two snails of the milk snail variety. I named both of them ones Silver and the others Snow White
Immaculate vibes 🐌🐌🐌
“I can fall and hit my head on this table” lmao.
AWW THEY R SO SMWALL
0:51 best transition ever 🤩
Haha
I love this tank idea so so much 😁😍👍👍🥰
Great video
pur this helped sm thx
The iconic card. Multi use
You already know🤪
Is this enclosure safe? I have three snails and their home is getting too small for them to live in
You should get atleast a 3-5 gallon tank depending on the size
I want to buy the same terrarium. Do you find it hard to clean bc of the small opening?
I like the name Gary lol 🐌
I am having one....its small and covering its opening with cover..if i remove the covering then again it forms...help
cant i just a grab a snail out of my garden? i dont really want to buy a snail just incase i regret it! please answer soon ^^
Yeah definitely! Wild snails might have worms , but there’s deworming food you can buy!
I have the same setup and the hinges SUCK I had to tape them so it would till open and close because they rusted off
He resembles johnny galecki ( leanord) big bang theroy and a little like harry potter. Would a 10 gallon be big enough for a land snail?
Question I have the same type of tank as that can I leave it close or should I keep it open so they can breath
They can breathe inside the terrarium- LOL
can the ground of the terrarium just be soil? or do you have to cover it in moss
Moss is optional, so it's not needed
🐌🐌🐌💛
You have to more stuff like sticks and rocks!
Question: is it alright if I just keep one in a Bowl or nah?
just make sure the bowl isn't too small! since snails actually crawl a lot
For a cheaper alternative you can use a food safe container, just make sure there’s air holes. Maybe, if the bowl is big enough and you have a vented lid. Snails will crawl out without one, they’re escape artists!
1 snail needs 1 pound is the rule :)
Where did u get the moss?
Off of Etsy! I show the shop around minute 4 :)
@@Danny.G Ok thanks
That blue point on the side of the canvas made me mad
What do you use as the base I’m confused
From what I've seen a lot of people use loose coconut fiber substrate. Sorry if you were asking about somthing else lol
my guy looks so high-
I dont think those are baby pill bugs, I think they are micr nutrients
Can snails live in terrarium without soil? If no, why not?
Thanks.
Snails like to burrow to lay there eggs and it helps them keep moist
be careful with the isopods because they could eat snails and they love eating slugs
3 years later and this is why there’s no update lol
They ate the snails?!?
