I plan on getting a pair of H. Pomatia in early december, and I currently keep my tank at above 95% humidity (don’t know exact as my hygrometer only reads “hi” after 95%) and I generally keep everything pretty damp. I know they don’t like things to be too wet, do you think this would be a problem? If so, how low humidity do they like? I cant go below 85% because my isopods would die and they’re a vital part of the tank ecosystem... Just want to make sure they’re the right snails for me  |

Your tank doesn't sound suitable for Helix pomatia with those conditions. Also, if you are in the US, you will have to source the snails from within your own state as it's illegal to import any live snails or slugs from outside the US, or move them between states. petsnails.proboards.com/thread/16277/shipping-snails-slugs-legal-info |

I’m definitely going to lower my humidity and see how my other gastropods do- does 70-80% still sound too high for them, or would that be acceptable? If thats too high, roughly what humidity do they prefer? |
