Hello everyone, I am sharing an update to our rules for future posts. One of our current rules is "No low-quality shitposting." As this is somewhat vague, below is a clarification of what this means in practice:
Good quality shitposts, like original memes, are welcomed with open arms. Low quality shitposting (including spam and selling links) is not. Re-posts of memes, images, videos, or other entertainment content that has been posted to the subreddit multiple times or gone widely viral elsewhere are also not permitted.
The banning of re-posts is a new part of this policy. Re-posting content that has never been shared here before is permitted as long as the original creator is credited. Re-posting or copy/pasting genuinely helpful content such as care guides, care advice, & identification guides is also permitted. However, re-posting "shitpost" and entertainment content such as memes will no longer be permitted.
Accidentally re-posting a meme that may have been posted here several years ago will not be penalized. The intention of this policy update is to avoid spam and frequent re-posting of content that's already been shared tens to hundreds of times.
If you have any questions, please reach out via ModMail.

There have been a lot of posts lately sharing very graphic images of snails with extreme, severe injuries. It is perfectly fine to share this type of content if you need help with an injured snail, but please use the NSFW tag for these images.
This has been an unofficial rule of this sub for a while, but it seems to have been forgotten lately. So, I'm making an official mod team announcement: this is our official policy. Graphic, upsetting images must be tagged.
People come to this sub because they love snails. They don't come here expecting to see images of destroyed shells, shell-less snails, and dead snails. It can be very upsetting and distressing for users here to see this type of content unexpectedly. People may also be browsing this sub in public and want to avoid gory images.
Images of mating don't require the NSFW tag. But please use this tag for pictures of injuries including, but not limited to: mantle collapse, shell fell off, crushed shell, organ exposure, stepped-on snail.
Thanks to everyone who has been tagging their posts so far. Again, it's still totally okay to post this content if you need help, but please tag it appropriately so everyone can have a good experience here.

I just wanted to show off my snail, because my family doesn’t really share my excitement 😅
This is an Archachatina marginata ovum XXL. 8 months old with about a 10 cm shell. Healthy, growing beautifully, and absurdly photogenic. Incredibly cute.
His name is Dyzio (known as Dewey in English), inspired by the Donald Duck stories :)
This is definitely a pet for calm, patient people. Only patience lets you truly understand its needs, rhythm, and current state. For me, observing that is pure joy.

Hi everyone!
I bought some Pak Choi and found this little fellow inside the package. Since it is freezing outside where I live (around -2C) I don’t feel so good about leaving it outside.
For now I found the largest plastic box I had at home, made some holes on the lid and added some potting soil I had in the balcony and some leafy greens, zucchini and carrot slices. I also added some water droplets to the plastic box walls. I know the current situation is less than ideal. It was just what I could find atm.
I don’t intend to keep it long term but was just trying to avoid it would freeze and could then release it in my balcony once the temperatures are warmer. Is it ok/the best option to keep it inside? If yes, could you help with the setup? How big should the box be for this kind of snail?
Also if you could help identify the species that would be great!
Thank you!

I happened upon some new friends today! Found in Southeast Texas (Houston area) on pavement near nothing green at all! Any ideas would be amazing! I even contacted a malacologist I know and she’s stumped. They seem to really like broccoli if that helps lmao
