Be sure to add either egg shells or cuttle bone for a calcium source.

If you use egg shells make sure you bake them in the oven at 350° to kill solmenila bacteria!
Excellent. Clear sided, opaque, or non see-through??

It's opaque and I've been using cuttlebone
. How often do you guys mist? Any tips to get them to breed or does it just happen lol?
EarlMT

Lol!!! How long of a misting session?

Yep. Lots of fresh food ( Dark green leafy veggies, carrots, cucumber and a cuttlebone) and just make sure the soil doesn't get too dry. Keep it damp, but not soggy.
I keep my snails in a 10 gallon tank, with a screen top. Within a few weeks they'll lay eggs. I carefully scoop the eggs out and place them in a deli cup full of soil with a lid with holes. Keep the soil damp and store it in a warm place ( around 75 degrees) - in about 3 weeks snails will hatch.

On eBay you search live garden snails and a ways down there's some from a guy in Greece. Like 8$ for 10 of them, as opposed to snailsinthemail.com where you need a permit and they're 50$ for 10.

Free! They even made it about 3 weeks in the mail to me, all alive.
