Lilytuft Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 18 hours ago, Jasper said: I have owned multiple pet slugs before (LOL please don't judge I adore them) Slugs at least, can change gender at will, depending weather there is a male of female slug nearby. If there are no other slugs near by, they can actually reproduce by themselves. I just declared my slugs male or female, and went with it. Mushroom was a girl, Portobello and Truffle were boys. Also, is there enough moisture in there for the snail? I don't see any substrate in there, either. For feeding of the snail, I'd recommend cucumbers. My slugs went bonkers over those. Also kale works in a pinch. You gotta make sure the water you spray in there either comes from your own well (if you have one, so you know there aren't any added chemicals), or natural bottled spring water (this is probably this best--just make sure that theres no added salt or other bad stuff in it), or distilled water (but I wouldn't recommend that as your first choice because it lacks some natural minerals and stuff) I definitely would NOT recommend tap water--it often has added chemicals to it like chorine that can be bad for the slug/snail's sensitive skin. make sure you wash off the cucumbers and other stuff you give them really well with some of the water choices above. Their food often has harmful chemicals and pesticides on them. ANYway, rant over! The snail is super cute!!!! My sister was cleaning the snail's home, that's not the actual terrarium. I have never touched the snail, because it clearly wants to kill me. I find wild snails less murderous. My sister takes care of the feeding 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I share a room with my sister, an old half blid guinea pig and a scary snail. I'm sure that one night she/he/they/it ( @angelheart help me, what are the genderpronouns of snails?!) is going to kill me I have never seen a White Snail before that. Are they common? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagmole Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Hello! I am the snail you saw earlier. My name is Sirkku. Thank you all for your good advice. I am my owners first snail. (Of course she has searched for information, but internet does not tell everything, and somethimes people take care of their pets differently.) Don't worry- I have soil in my terrarium, I just like to climb on the walls of my terrarium and in the picture I was on the top of my terrarium. And yes- I like cucumbers and I get them often, because my owner knows I like them. And she always washes the foods or peels them. And I have cuttlefish always in my terrarium so that I can eat it when I want. My owner is really thankfull about the advice. And as white snail my self- White jade snail, I think white snails are common as pets, but I don't believe that we live in the wild. -Derpy snail that likes to make funny faces as you can see 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spacestar TheThundersuncat Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 We have these red, shell less "naked snails" people pick up and kill in creative ways every year, as they seem interested in eating just about everything. At least you haven't salted them by the bucket 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
