just a little while ago I found this snail and decided to keep him. sta.sh/01hsvakiv8qwHOWEVER, before I put him in my terrarium with my aspersums I want to know if hes dangerous to them or their eggs/babies at all, like if he will eat them or something... anybody know what he is? |

It looks like a garlic glass snail ( Oxychilus alliarius ) idtools.org/id/mollusc/factsheet.php?name=Oxychilus%20spp. from this link it reads, It consumes living and dead plant material as well as small snails and their eggs. meaning you should probably not put it with your other snails. =) |

I have a pet garlic glass snail who had laid eggs and promptly ate all but one of the hatched baby snails as well as the eggs.
Garlic glass snails can live with bigger snails, like your average garden snail, and can make wonderful pets so long as you make sure to separate them from their clutch or babies after they hatch.

I had one of these cuties, but after two of my snurrs died mysteriously, I realized he was a carnivore.  It's a shame, they're super cute, but if you want to keep them you need to set up an alternate terrarium. |
