Limicolaria Advice Please

[elliewightman]

Hi all. I am new to this forum so be gentle with me!

I have loads of types of snails. Not an expert, just love em to bits.

I've been offered some 'limicolaria' babies, but don't know anything about this particular kind. Thought it would be best to find out before I say yes.

I've done all the usual searches but can't find much about them.
I think they are tree snails rather than land snails and like it pretty warm and humid. Unsure about the food though.

Am I being dumb!!? Does anyone know anything about them?

Thanks in advance, Ellie and all my shelled friends!

Hi Ellie,
I would say i find them easy to keep others may disagree? they are small tree snails 4-5cm and come in a range of colours and stripes, they need heat 25 plus, and humid too. They are easy to feed eating sweet potatoe, cucumber the usual things really and of course cuttle fish. Good luck

I dont actually think they are tree snails, Ive seen the name African Garden Snail given to them by African sellers before. Though most African Snails could maybe be found in tree's, Ive seen pictures of fulica, and other species up tree's in the wild.

On a picture blog my friend had taken a pic of wild european land snails, hanging in her cherry tree, in Poland. So I guess a lot of species like climbing trees.
