    Re: question on snails

    I've experienced no problems feeding them these snails that came in with potted plants and established themselves along the walls of my house. But I break the shell and peel it off first. Make sure you don't get them from an area where slug poison/bait is used. Slugs eat nutritious vegetation high in iron and for some plants, calcium. Gut loading them with leafy greens and veggies is a good way to make them more nutritious.

    Re: question on snails

    I would really like to keep red belly snakes one day; I"ll have to start a colony of snails first

    As per the vet.. Am I the only one that gets excited to see reptile poop? It's way more exciting than dog poop, you find the coolest, most bizarre bugs!

    Re: question on snails

    My experience was different. I removed the snail fom the shell washed it, fed it via hemostats , loved it. Slugs were ignored. I did recently sell a radix who gobbled slugs. Who knows. I stick to nightcrawlers, silversides, pinkie parts. Unless its a problem feeding.
