I’m so happy she’s finally eating veggies!

Just Ceres eating some Bok Choy

I noticed a weird, gelatinous form on my snail’s head. It’s a wild caught, likely Allogona sp., from Riggins, ID that I’ve kept in a terrarium since May 2025. I have had no other snails in the terrarium but just noticed a new one crawling around today after noticing the head goop on my original. Not aware of land snails keeping eggs on their head, but I do have tons of isopods in the tank that would certainly love snail eggs.

Saw this cute fellow while walking on my way home.

Hi everyone,
I’m worried about one of my snails. He’s been sleeping a lot lately despite regular misting, and he now sleeps deep inside his shell, when he used to sleep with his head out. You can see right inside the shell rim in the picture.
Yesterday morning I woke him up, he explored for about an hour, then went back to sleep and hasn’t moved since. I don’t think he has eaten.
Something else worries me: since June, his foot grips less and less when he sleeps up high, and he falls from the ceiling of the enclosure almost every day. I recently changed the substrate (I was using peat, I switched to coco fibre) and he always has access to calcium.
My 2 other snails in the same enclosure are doing perfectly fine.
Has anyone come across this before?

Hello everyone! Can you please help me? My achatina snail hides inside shell and doesn’t come out. It has a wet fine terrarium with soil. She hasnt been eating for the last 4 days. I don’t know much about snails and am really worried about it. Maybe it’s because it is September and the weather has become colder?

Sorry if this isn't the right subreddit but I'm desperate, I need this information for some very specific writing I'm in the middle of. I've tried googling but all I've gotten so far are terms for a snail's shell or stuff about skincare via snails, nothing concrete for what the skin (exterior layer of the soft bits) itself is called.

Any help would be appreciated!

I often find myself wishing my snails could enjoy the food I like, and I get sad I can’t share it with them

Like bread! I wish they could eat bread

-pasta
-popcorn
-pizza
-mashed potatoes

Edit to add
-budalk noodles
And
-tacos

Mostly bread like I feel like it’s unfair they don’t get to try toast or garlic bread or rolls of any kind

Does anyone else feel this way? I just wanna share all the yummy food I make with them lol

In my original post I wondered if my Allogona sp. snail might be pregnant or diseased after noticing some weird, gelatinous goop on top of its head as well as a new snail-mate. After closer inspection you can definitely tell the other snail isn’t the same species and the head goop retracted?? Completely disappeared. Is this normal? I saw another Reddit post that talked about head swelling being a sign of snail puberty (snuberty).

First time having strawberries, he’s a fan!! :)

The most adventurous little snail I have ever had, she was the greatest escape artist despite the tank being sealed shut. Unfortunately she hurt herself too badly in her latest escape and she had to be put to sleep :(

Saw this little dude out and about in the rain and had to share this adorable photo I got

Hello everyone, I just found this snail last night after a storm. I’m based here in North Florida, so I’m wondering if it’s a Giant African Land Snail or maybe a bulimulus guadalupensis.

All help and advice is appreciated. Thank you!

Soo, I got this snail 3 weeks ago, I was TOLD he was a garden brown snail, but he formed some “teeth” in the entrance of his shell, so I’m not sure anymore. Brown garden snails do not typically have those. Anyone have an idea of the id?

found in northern VA.

Found another one hoping they will make many many snails! Thats my thumb mext to it.

so, I recently noticed that my snail has a couple white pieces in its shell (as shown), and they are solid and connected. I’m assuming they are a normal occurrence to shell growth, but I’ve just been wondering if they might affect him or if they are normal. He is about 3 months old and he is a brown garden snail.
