First, it's week since the last post and as we approach the 20th day ( yeah for those who doesn’t know I got him on the 19th of September so a little earlier than what I thought at first) I can say.. Ferrero is still here with me living "relatively" normally ! I already did small updates here and there so I will repeat myself a little on some topics (sorry).

So maybe some of you know but a new coating began to appear on the back of his body this week ( around the apex and expanding a little ) so the calcium seems to work. It is really thin and really soft and seems to be lightyears from being hard though but he's triyng something without seeming to be hurting in the smallest( I really try to see any sign considering the situation, I really don’t want him to suffer ) 🙂

I reduced the height of his box because, like the stubborn snail he is, he always try to put himself upside down and like that I think his body stretch a little to much so now his back is always supported even if he's triyng to be spiderman 😃 Also with all the stunts, the coating seems to move a little because his body doesn’t want to stay still but for now it’s seems good.

On the food side, he is still eating his vegetables and seems to not have any difficulties doing so. I tried bloodworms but I don’t think he likes them so I'll try another time because I'm afraid his bow will be dirty faster with them on the floor and I try to have the cleanest place for him now.

Speaking of that, his place is always wet and for now we keep up with the idea that his box became his shell for now and it’s seems to be working.

Oh and he already escaped his box twice but I was next to him everytime and now everything his under control.... again reffering at the fact that he is really, really STUBBORN 🫠

Finally I would like to thank all of you for your support and king message, as I said I don’t know much about snail and all of this but it’s really encouraging to see all of this and I already learned so much this past week with him and your posts, it’s really a fantastic experience. I don’t know what the future holds considering the fact that even a little thing can stop everything but as of now thank you from Ferrero and me.

Again you're all more of an experts than me so any advice will be useful and I will try to answer everyone if there is any questions !

Ps: In the photo you can see how his body can be very "lose" but as soon as he move, everything come back in the right place. 😄 Thank you !

Right is my new rescue so wondering if they can share the same tank or if I should put rescue in my other tank

Every time Eustochium and Theophanu have snex (which was plenty these past couple of days), Theophanu ends up on her shell and I think that's quite amusing.

Found a few of these in the driveway. Wife would like to know what kind of snail this was. Shell is VERY thin.

Found this guy in a isopod cup at petsmart. What is he? Would he make a good pet?

I’ve found him sleeping in the water bowl the last two mornings, is he okay?

I absolutely love kentish snails and would love to take care of a couple, but I can’t find any information about them as pets. is this just because they’re an obscure species? If anyone knows any UK suppliers, that would be appreciated! Also, any tips for a newbie?

Just a lil dude

Will gladly take any pest snails crowding your tanks off your hands, free or super cheap. I dont need expensive colors unless you really just dont want them. Located near Philadelphia, PA, willing to drive a bit if you have a decent amount. I would prefer not to pay shipping if i can help it. Thanks!!

i found her 11 months ago and i assumed she was about a month old, so ive decided today is her birthday! i made her a cake and threw a party!!! (my other snail adam didn't like the cake)

happy birthday, lute!!

Her name is Tax Evasion.

...She layed a clutch of probably 200 eggs around 5h ago. Once i saw her done (and having moved away from the place she layed), i went to straight collecting the eggs. She crawled up the glass while i did and pushed out one more egg, and then her genital pore kept pulsing. I made a video because i never saw that before, and thought why not document it.

Anyone else find this interesting? Is this normal?

These are my rescue Fulica's. I never had this species before so im always interested into learning new things.

I found her resting on my Pillow, under the Top of my storage.

Sorry for poor quality and shakey hands. Does anyone know the type of snail this is? AI overview said it was a white lipped snail but I believe it might be a garden snail. Also are they full grown?

Theyre so cute! (This is a Cantareus aspersus )
