MITES! ARGH!

[Leah]

My snaileys have got mites. I'm so worried. I've emptied the tank of all moss and stuff and I'll wash it out every day. Anythiing else I should do?

Also, one of my snails sealed herself in She's awake and fine now but Im worried she'll do it again, my baby dimidiata also retracted really far back. My rooms the coldest in the house. I'm not allowed the heating on much because 'its not cold enough yet...' blah! So I've been putting the tank by the radiator while its on but it hasnt been for the last few days so I figure thats why she sealed herself in. I won't have any money for a few weeks for a heat mat. WHAT SHOULD I DO?!

Please help! PLEASE

I assume you have washed the snails too?If you keep that up you should get them under control.As for the cold room,if you have any polysterene around you can put that under the tank for isolation,another thing what might work is spraying with warmish water

I do bath them often and I already thought of using warm water. Thanx tho Arno.

you can use hot water bottles too ;D

in my room i've got this 'fan heater' thing get them in b&w or something for like £15 they heat up the room quite quickly, you can also direct the flow of warm air towards the tanks

[Leah]

ooooo where do you put the hot water bottles?

[sezzy5889]

up against the sides or on top of the tanks or if they are small tanks underneath ;D that's what i did when my heat mat broke :-)
