i have 2 Gals and 9 rescued garden snails in the same room. I am worried though, will the garden snails (being from the wild) spread disease to my GALS?

I would think that as long as they're in separate tanks and you wash your hands between handling them, it ought to be okay. And as long as you don't share items between the tanks, or at least wash the items and/or disinfect them before putting in the other tank.

Hand-washing is probably the single most important thing you could do to minimize transmitting diseases and parasites between them.
