Yesterday, my little sister was given two snails after begging for them for months. Unfortunately, after seeing them she's realized she's scared of them and wants nothing to do with them She gave them to me and I love them already. I found this forum through googling about pet snails and I decided to join so that I can learn more about how to look after my snails the best I can. Both snails are lissachatina fulica (albino jades) and they seem to be adjusting to their new home well. Their names are Lily and Jakob.

Well, the good news is that you have an easy species. A standard humid terrarium will be fine. I can't remember if they do well in room temp, but a small heat pad would be all you need to fix that if they're inactive from the cold. Feeding wise make sure they always have cuttlebone available along with a protein source (like dog biscuits or bloodworms) and a mix of vegetables circulating through their plates often.... what I mean by that is not that you have to give them a "salad" every time, just if you have been feeding i.e. sweet potatoes for a few days, swap it to mushrooms or apple, etc. Some people do feed a salad type mix every time but I don't think it's necessary.
