[syclon]

Hello, I'm new to this site i'm so happy iv'e found a snail site i just love snails so much,i dont have my own because i want to gather some information about them first, so then i can be prepared to have some. Also im sorry if this is in the wrong section im new here and im only ust getting used to things, Ive read the main petsnails.co.uk care sheets and now know more about them, i was just going to see if anyone could give me a bit more of specific advice on snails and maybe there habitats? Thankyou.

Welcome Any advice will depend on what snails you intend to keep, so you might have to decide that first!

Well i ive read achatina fulicia are the most common am i right? And i happen to quite like them, so im going to go with achatina fulicia i have a pet store not far from my home where they sell them so its quite good really or i might get them off the internet.

Yep, they're the most common as they breed like rabbits A good snail to start with, pretty hardy.

Hi Syclon, you would probably do well to ask someone here for your snails in the classified section, i'm sure there would be someone here with a few snails available. Also that person would know exactly how to care for what you bought from them.you should find all the info you need on keeping fulicas, temp , humidity etc on the forum, if not just bother one of us lol.
Hope you find some new friends
All the best

Hi Syclon, welcome to the forum!
you'll need to make sure you have a good sized tank, some chemical free substrate, heat source and cuttlefish. Plus a spray bottle is a good idea to help maintain humidity. You should think about what age and size snail you are gonna get. I'd advise you go for a larger one thats either full grown or 3/4 grown, so it has a sturdy shell. Having babies and seeing them grow up is nice but they have delicate shells and are better to keep when you have a bit of experience with snails.
hope that helps
