Snail High Rise Living!

[goose]

Well here is the apartment block.



Basement fulicas, first floor tigers and albino fulica and room in the penthouse for more?! ;D

The tenants


Um Shlop and Zebedee

Their hideaway - a guinea pig house stuffed with dried leaves which they absolutely love - they munch the leaves as well



Then Ivan and Igor and Madame Cholet who are all growing very well and very fat.



And their hideaway



The tigers preferred this arrangement to their burying pot they crawl in under the leaves. Also gives another dimension to the tanks - they often sit on top of the houses. Doorways are nice and large so no chance of them getting stuck and the wood seems to cope well with the humidity though I do air the tanks once a day anyway to avoid excess condensation.

;D

Wow, yo have a good terrarium for your snails. My terrariums (With molluscs) are on my desk (Are not big terrariums, but are good for my snails and slugs). Regards.

Hi!
I like your idea with the guinea pig houses! But what kind of flooring is that? Looks like carpet or is it linoleum?

[goose]

Its capillary matting - the stuff used to stand plants on in greenhouses etc. Holds water well and easy to clean - my personal preference to a coir or compost substrate as I am not breeding my snails.

Hey this looks excellent!! Where did you get your oak leaves?

[Grant]

From a tree they are them big large things that grow in woods lol

[goose]

Honestly Grant - such sarcasm ;D

Thanks Val - I collected them this autumn whilst out walking - oak leaves are good as they don't rot as quickly as other types - I collected a big bag when they had just fallen from the trees and keep it in the shed so they're dry and cool and should keep a while. Actually Kevin gave me the idea - he sells oak and beech leaves as substrate I believe for those who don't have easy access to woodlands etc
