Do you separate elderly snail?

[sweetsnail]

Hello fellow snailsters,

I have wild caught Helix Aspersa and I think some are rather old from the shell appearance, slower movement and the coil part were already turning whitish when I got them.

The question is, do you separate elderly snails and get them to live individually in retirement OR let them stay in a tank with the others but they keep mating and laying eggs. Laying eggs will exhaust them for sure. Would love to hear your experience with it and what’s best for my snail wellbeing.

Cheers

Hello!


This is mostly optional. For the old snails well being, I think separating them would be great. They can have some smaller tank mates, like a smaller species, as well. It is all up to you though.

I hope all goes well, and you have a great day!
