Can I keep two snails in a (big or small) covered fish bowl? Can snails live in a very round shaped house?

i don't see why not as long as it big enough...depends on the species and the number you wants to keep  |

Which of the 3 bowls is better? The 2, 3, or8 litters? (3/4, 1, or 2,5 gallons)

The 2 litters bowl is easier to clean because of its opening, which is a bit different...
But I think it's too small...
Of course my snail (or snails) will be out of their bowl for some time everyday...
So, what do you think?
(do I make writing mistakes?.... Sorry, I don't know very well the english language...)

I would go for the biggest one so they have as much space as possible. It looks like they would be great houses though. I take it the covers have ventilation holes?

Maybe a tank would be better...
A fish bowl is harder to clean.

Hmmm it might work better as a bottle garden type set up with planted plants and very small species of snail that are not as messy as Helix.

A fish bowl has nowhere they can hide and dig into it seems.
Also you don't normally get HUGE bowls, and the idea of them being stuck in a very small space is cruel.
If its the money i got my 35 ltr box for 3.50 so that wasn't much at all.
If you want them out you have to dig your hand into a bowl as theres no detatchable lid and its harder to get them off the the side of glass then when they're burried in a pot or something.
