1. What is the minimum size of tank PER each helix pomatia snail
2. How often do i clean a helix pomatia snail cage
(i'm getting two)

Helix pomatia are a bit different than other snails in that they prefer to have lots of room. I would aim for 3-5 gallons per pom. For 2 adult H. pomatia I would provide at least 10 gallons of room. 15 gallons would be perfect.
You don't need to clean very often at all. They need to have beneficial bacteria in the soil for their gut health so only do partial soil changes every few months. You can also just remove any waste you see on the top of the soil, then occasionally stir the soil layer around. The bacteria will break down the waste eventually. For the glass - you can just wipe it with some moist paper towel whenever you feel it's too dirty.
