Nope. She hasn't mates at all. I got her before she could mate, so I'm sure she hasn't before.

Cute! When I was 3 I used to pick them up and put them on each other XS I don't think about it now... One of them fell... Oh well, I was three at the time... Still gross :x

Let them make signs saying "WE DON'T LIKE BEING EATEN!" and they can parade around town

Hi, I really want a cepaea nemoralis as a pet. Are they allowed in south australia? I think they're in australia, but I don't know if they're pests or not. It's sad that I can't keep many snails. All I can really have are helix aspersas.

Hi, I've gotten on to say, all of my snails, have mated! But I noticed that one of them was hiding tucked away from the others. Penelope has not mated. Seeing as Pickles actually escaped from the tank for two months and slimed back up, he's good with the ladies, even though he doesn't know them properly because I rescued them from the lawnmower when he was hiding under my bed =P Here are how they've mated from first to last: (I really shouldn't know this -.-) Baffbot, Pickles. Baffbot, Rainbow. Pickles, Patches. It leaves Penelope, who was second in the tank, all alone Any ideas of how to get her a husband? =D PS: I really need help. I want a cepaea nemoralis, but I'm not sure if they're OK in Australia!

My snails would never eat dry cat food... I always soaked it first but it just used to get left so I gave up trying them on it... none of them ever got ill so I assume they either avoided it because they knew it wasn't good for them (if it was too salty) or they just didn't like it... Mine don't like celery either, but they've never gotten ill from it. The coffee could be something to do with the caffeine in it... because it acts as a diuretic it might dehydrate them? Just a thought. Caffeine is also quite an effective insecticide Didn't actually mean to feed it to them. While I was mixing up their usual food I saw a few crumbs and left them there.

if you look closely, you can see it still looks like his scales, not just the fact they look different.

EDIT: He's alright, it's changing colour. My pleco attacked him (we're unfortunately getting rid of him) and a few silver scales came off. We're fine.
Edit: RIP smarty and one of my unnamed fish. ),= gone way too quickly to be true. I miss them. What's worse is I walked in on my unnamed fish swimming sideways, then eventually, upside down. RIP.

coyote: Ficus elastica is what I am talking about. And these are just suggestions. I almost killed my snail from it eating dry cat food, so I put it up.

He looks OK, but I'm no expert. That dark grey spot in the last pic... What is it?

Each cat food is slightly different. Mine was probably too salty.

Hi, I would like to start a thread of what is fatal to your snails, not just for me, but other people browsing this. COFFEE RESIDUE/BEANS First of all, I've found that coffee residue can kill snails. I'm not sure what happens, but they just swell up and... I only just saved Penelope! The poor thing always tries to eat everything first! DRY CAT FOOD: I made a mash of cat food and sunflower seeds. I only just saved Penelope. AGAIN. It swells up their head and you can see the inside of their mouth is dark RED and if they lick you, sometimes (not usually) A little trickle of SOMETHING comes on you. If they slide into a food bowl of it, watch out, they fall over, covered in the stuff because it attracts them but usually cat food has a bit of salt in it. Poor Penelope, she's been in snail hospital twice in one day! (smaller snail tank with only grass in it) RUBBER PLANT: I haven't actually tested this, but it's kind of obvious. Rubber plant, even in tiny doses, can kill cats and dogs, so I don't think a snail will have much luck. I usually see some small bites out of ours, but then I look on the ground, BAM, snail with its shell broken. It's kind of gross Post some things that have taken your snails to a better place... then at least the people here will read it and make sure their snails won't die from their owners. CELERY: I haven't been on for a while, and suddenly all my posts are full XD Apparently celery can hurt snails, I don't think it does but it's best to be cautious.

TY SO MUCH AXOLOA! I am reassured now. =3 I have a tad bit of depression, so I really can't afford to be fretting over snails.
