I kept a snail on peat once and over time it's shell started flaking and cracking. I think it may have been too acidic. Just a cautionary note.

Hi I have since been using peat moss for a considerable amount of time , and to be honest have no problems at all, all the snails shells look great, however due to ecological impact i will be moving to grow bags which have no additives so to speak and are better for the enviroment.
All the very best
