This is where my 2 GALS live. Its a heated propagator. The living area measures 52cm x 38cm. Its quite bare though, so I'm hoping for some sugestions of safe decor. What do you all think of the size and layout so far? For reference its on top of a 2 foot fish tank.   |

Plastic plants, or artificial aquarium plants, are good. Sticks that span the diagonal distance of the tank, to climb on. The plastic pot is good, for a hide.

Just thought I would share this pic of my unheated propagator with you    My propagator is 42cm x 52cm and is probably only just big enough for my 3 A.F's I have plastic plants attached to the back to the propagator using suckers (i fixed the suckers on myself) and some at the front, live spider plants (although I am not sure how these will survive in a heated propagator), a tray full of moss, water dish, half a pot to hide in, Norman the gnome, food dish, and planted cress. Since this pic was taken I also added some aquarium drift wood which looks like a bridge and drilled two how in the side of the propagator to fix the cuttle bone to the side with a cable tie, thought this would save space and it did for a while when my three snails were small. Now they are 2.5 inches big and seem to want a piece of cuttle bone each. I will try and get a more up to date pic and post later today! hope this helps |

That looks like a very nice habitat for your snails.  Spider plants are native to central and southern Africa, so they may do just fine in there. Keep an eye on them anyway, just in case. |

Thank you for you replies everyone. I have got some plastic plants and wood in there now.
I have just got some spider plants for my propagator. 3 plants for a £1 because they weren't popular. Yay me.
I will post a new photo when I have these in place.
LITTLEMISS - Did you buy a pot of cress or plant cress seeds?

Hi Kat, I have done both in the past, I brought cress 1st and found my snails liked it and now I grow some as its cheaper ;D
