Hello, my first post. This is one of my Amber snails I found in my yard. They love carrots!  |

They like cabbage leaf and sweet potato too. Calcium sources should be provided separately to food and not mixed together for "forced" ingestion, so that the snail can regulate its own calcium intake. Adding calcium to food can lead to internal problems and even death. |

Huh I didn't know that. I seen a bunch of videos on YouTube where ppl we're doing the same with eggs or cuttlefish bone. I tried just leaving the whole egg shells in there tararium and weren't eating it and I noticed one had part of it's shell nibbled on is why I started doing it. Thank you for letting me know.

I love the little racing stripes on their heads, where are these native to?
