These beautiful baby Giant African snails hatched at the beginning of may 2024.
Photos shows some of the babies around 6 weeks ago and the parents (Dandelion and Dave) (not included). They are now about 2-4cm in size. Can grow to 20-30cm. The first photo on this upload is the size they are now.
Excellent condition, feeding well and growing fast.
They require a large container with air holes glass tank or rub. snail substrate should be about 5cm deep and a heat mat underneath. They eat fresh vegetables such as lettuce, cucumber, green beans and need cuttlefish to strengthen their shell. Snail protein mix a few times a week. These items are not included.
Need a spray bottle as soil should always be moist but not completely saturated and swimming, will need hygrometer/thermometer reader, water bowl, more for keeping humidity up really as usually they get their drink from veg or sucking the water droplets up off side of tank etc. dont need light, they should be placed near sunlight when not bakingly hot, they dont really like light but much as in the wild they do come across sunlight lol and sunlight is beneficial to pretty much most animals. And foods. Greens are a daily must, cucumber wedges, grass, lettuce (not iceberg more like rocket, curly leaf etc) kale, spinach, cress, dandelion leaves etc etc. Then as treats they like carrot, courgette, water melon, apples bananas etc. don't ever feed them anything except fresh washed fruit and veg in raw form, don't pick bits outta a premade salad or if eating or sandwich etc as could have salt and additives on (makes salad last longer for us to eat🙄) but can be fatal to gals. Also make sure u check daily the food, any rotten or not looking so fresh take out and replace otherwise substrate will get infested with fruit fly larvae which means full clean out even if they not long had fresh substrate so to avoid wasting money check daily.
I keep mine between 20-23degrees and keep the humidity between 70% and 80%.
In a vivarium enclosure.
Either lots of damp soil so they can dig down and bury themselves, with a few objects to climb on that are not hard and plastic only as they like to climb and falling on them can damage their shells.
These are not the first clutch my snails had and have been appropriately culled.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
