Amazing korean vet repairs two snail's broken shells!
(english sub available)

Can owners buy these materials? The glue looks like UV-hardening dental filler composite. I don't know what the desinfactant is, PHMB (often mislabelled as PAPB) maybe?

For small cracks, you can try covering exposed organs with a hydrocolloid plaster (ideally clean wipe the area with cold Catappa leaf tea). Skin rebuilds in days, shell in months. This saved my snail's life.

This baby snail did a red poop because it ate tomato. 🍅

(I was a bit shocked at first)

Trixie had a nice nap, staring down at a bowlful of broccoli. #snails #snailposting #snailsofmastodon #pets #petSnails #photography #nature #animals #gastropods

A very sleepy snail perched on a stick, her head drooping down but eyestalks pulled almost all the way in.

Saw something unusual last night that I hope remains that way: while poor Niles was eating his supper, Chibi came over and actually bullied him away from the dish! She came up behind him and started nipping at his head and shell. He tried to back off but she continued. When he started to make his escape she pursued him, still nipping at his heel. There is a twig I’ve placed vertically at the side of the tank, and Niles had to climb up that before Chibi would leave him alone. She returned to the food dish and nibbled, then left to resume her other activities. I opened the tank to let Niles sniff my finger, to see if he wanted to have some extra space, but he eventually decided to slink off and take a nap before returning to his agenda. #snailposting #petsnails #video

Niles has been happily munching on the bark of this stick all evening now. Meanwhile his snibling (snail sibling) is enjoying a dish full of fresh green beans and mint. :blobmeltsoblove: #snails #petsnails #photography #Macrophotography #monochrome #snailposting

Niles slept through the heat wave so “the little one” had a chance to grow even bigger than him. He was a little shy at first but came around once he had his fill of sprouts and did a spot of grooming. #SnailPosting #snail #snails #pets #PetSnails #SnailsOfMastodon #photo #photography

Chibi has officially gotten bigger than Niles; she was much more active during the heat wave (at least at night) and has been eating a lot of the food I leave for them. #snail #snails #pets #petSnail #petSnails #photography #photo #gastropod #SnailSunday #SnailPosting

I’ve only had these little guys a month and they’ve both grown, but Chibi has really outgrown her name lol! #SnailPosting #SnailsOfMastodon #PetSnails #PetsOfMastodon

My seem to be Up To Business when they’re awake. They make important decisions like whether to crawl across the side of their little hideaway or across the sides of the tank. I am considering adding a third stick to their terrarium but am also wondering…what sorts of things beyond twigs and sticks and their water dish do they consider toys? I put a dry leaf under a stick and Niles’s eyes bugged out a lil when he saw. Now I’m obsessed.

My Malaysian Trumpet snails. They all hide under the gravel once the tank lights come on.
