Milk snail information?

[supersnailen]

A couple months ago I got some milk snails and I've been taking care of them based on a lot of general snail information ive read up on, but I was wondering if any of you know any sources specific to milk snails. Or if any of you guys have them and wouldn't mind sharing some of what you know.

Some basic info about Otala lactea at these links:

idtools.org/id/mollusc/factsheet.php?name=Otala%20spp.
molluscs.at/gastropoda/terrestrial.html?/gastropoda/terrestrial/otala.html

They originally come from southern Spain / Portugal area and so it is probably a good idea to aim for high temperature and low humidity in their environment.

If they like sandy soil, so do you think mixing sand in their soil substrate would be a good idea?
