How do I set up a habitat for my snail?Updated 9 months ago

You will need to provide a plastic or glass tank with lid.

Fill the tank to a depth of at least 5cm with coir (coconut fibre)/peat/top soil/Vermiculite or Sphagnum Moss available from pet shops, garden centres and on-line (depending on which product you decide to go with).

You need to keep the substrate damp but not wet (so it sticks to your hand but without puddles of water). Once damp you can maintain this easily by spraying a couple of times a day with water.

Snails like to hide out, so providing a place/s to hide such as an overturned plant pot.

To grow and maintain a healthy shell provide cuttlefish or an alternative calcium product.
