Hihi!
I'm Joss and I'm super new to snails. I'd been thinking about getting some in the past, but I hadn't really been able to yet. Since this quarantine, I've been quickly filling up my home office with a bunch of succulents, and wanted something I could keep in a terrarium on my desk. So, of course, this is the perfect time to get into snails.
I have a bunch of stuff coming in the mail next week:
A friend and I (and my hubby too) are supposed to go to a local nursery next Saturday to go snail hunting before they open their doors for the day. I'm super excited about it. I'll probably be lurking in these forums all weekend, taking notes, and generally freaking out.
Tonight, as soon as hubby is off work, we're going to head to a local fabric store to buy a bit of chiffon for the lid of the habitat. We're also going to swing by a local pet store to see if I can find something else I can't live without.
Any advice for "garden snails" or general newbie snail advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking forward to chatting with everyone!

- Coir
- Vermiculite
- Sphagnum moss (which arrived early, today)
