I love to see how much bigger their tank is and how cute they are! Although just so you know, the mesh is meant to hold the dirt from getting into the rock layer and that mesh is far too wide, you need smaller holed mesh. BUT I think with the springtails and everything, it'll probably be okay, just be careful if it starts to smell rotten because that's soil going putrid from sitting in water. The tank should smell like a wet forest, not like anything rotten. SerpaDesigns has some really good videos on making bioactive terrariums with snails, isopods and other animals, if you want more info on how tank bottoms work. You really take such good care of your snails. I love your channel!

[@AlyssaNPets]

I kinda stacked the mesh a bit so I’m hoping that maybe it was stacked enough to hold the dirt up. I’m not seeing too much dirt in the rock layer but I’ll def make sure to keep smelling it. Right now it just smells like a wet forest! Thanks for the advice 💓

[@theplushfrog]

@@AlyssaNPets Oh stacking it was likely a good idea! Nice! Isn't the wet foresty smell awesome? I'm glad I could help!

[@defwishfx4400]

I am sure its not called tank but shell. But I like the idea. Mine has no shell or as you would say tank. So its a pacifist-ish snail.

Clear packing tape over some of the lid ventilation works well to hold humidity for my isopods in a very similar enclosure (interior of lid sticky side up). Enjoyed the update on the cute snails and their new home!!!!

[@nickierainbow]

Springtails and dwarf white isopods are magical together as a clean up crew for humid evironments!

[@crystalallen2936]

Can you do a video of you cleaning the snail habitat .! Im curious now :)

[@morganjanulawicz5519]

Don’t get springtails get pill bugs instead! Springtails are known to rapidly breed out of control and because they are so small and can jump pretty far they also are known for escaping tanks and then infesting homes! Pill bugs are bigger, can’t jump, don’t breed as much, and also eat all the left over food scraps! I hope I explained well enough 😊

[@Tacosrock50]

springtales cant survive in a dry enviroment so depending on where u live, (I maybe wrong my source is Serpa Design) they dont escape much because they are already in their most ideal enviroment but if they do they die pretty quickly. BUT I personally, like yourself, LOVE pill bugs. plus theyre kind of adorable

[@pricklypear1704]

Yes, like Karen said springtails need a high humidity in order to survive and they only feed off of decaying matter so it is no issue that they will infest a home

[@morganjanulawicz5519]

@@Tacosrock50 true but depending on where you live they can thrive in the environment Like in Florida it’s hot and humid on a daily basis

[@Tacosrock50]

@@morganjanulawicz5519 Exactly! Arizona your good. Florida you may have some problems 😅. If u have a humid house with an abundance of decaying matter then I would 100% refrain from getting springtales. My best friend lives in Florida but her house stays pretty dry because she has a bearded dragon that can get respiratory infections cause of humidity.

[@destinyneal5153]

TIP: I don't know if you knoe this or not but dont forget to crush there eggs if they lay any because you can't put them back outside (unless you want to keep the eggs)

[@moriahmaxwell8804]

You can also put them in the freezer I’ve heard.... crushing sounds.. aggressive in my opinion

[@pootpoot8091]

wait why can’t you put the eggs outside??

[@moriahmaxwell8804]

@@pootpoot8091 there are a handful of reasons, but the biggest one is most snail species that are kept are pets aren’t native and would mess up local ecosystems. Snails that are used for pets are also usually bred, meaning there’s a good possibility that left to their own devices they wouldn’t know how to survive.

[@LilianeWolf]

@@moriahmaxwell8804 What if you found your snails outside? A wikihow recommended going outside after a rainstorm and find some to keep and that’s how I gave my son his first pet. But I’m not quite sure what would come of depositing the eggs outside (thankfully we haven’t had eggs yet, but it’s been on my mind).

[@moriahmaxwell8804]

@@LilianeWolf if you find it outside it’s probably an established species, not the same as specially bred snails. It would be fine to put those eggs outside, because you’re not introducing a species of snail that isn’t already there.

[@LNfroggy]

i just ordered my baby african snail.. i ordered them with there enclosure and everything! i love this video

[@wildp4ndor427]

I would definitely add some leaf litter for the springtails. Its one of their favorite food sources

[@kaitokisser_]

If you want to automate the process a bit, a reptile humidifier or even just a pharmacy humidifier with aquarium tube attached might be useful! Might have to cut up your lid a bit to make a hole and secure it good with superglue or tape but it would be more consistent than spraying and also easier!

[@hammysexoticanimals6598]

Hello! A few tips! You may want to upgrade (again sadly) soon as critter carriers aren’t the best and hold 0 humidity. You also don’t have to buy springtails, if you add plants to your tank and a small micro habitat forms, they will come naturally. It takes a while though. I help you out if need at all! I have a whole channel dedicated to the care of snails and slugs. 🐌🐌🐌🐌❤️ keep up the good work though!!

[@arbor.andromeda]

Hi there! I am planning on having snails and I have an enclousure just like this one (a lil smaller) BUT I have humidity plants in there, so I placed plastic blocking the holes (and made smaller holes in the plastic so the plants can breathe) and the humidity is SUPER HIGH I have left the enclousure whitout sparying it with water for about 3-4? Months and it's still not dry, it still has a lot of humidity, I open it and it smells like wet forest, also there are some earthworms that just- appeared? Idk how, and new plants and moss grew out of nowhere, would this be a good place for my snails to live in?

[@hammysexoticanimals6598]

@@arbor.andromeda That’s awesome! I was stating they aren’t the best option, but defiantly can work. The things growing in your tank could be from the plants you added, or have you used substrate from outside any?

[@DawnOldham]

I have a question about Guinea Pigs! I have an idea that would help me and possibly other newer Guinea pig owners. Could you perhaps show some examples of “floor time”? I have two piggies- boys- and they live well together so far in their 6’x2’ C&C cage. They are 11 months and 3 months old and have been together for about a month. Maybe you could collect photos or short video clips from people showing their floor time? I don’t know what goes into a “good” floor time. How do I cage them in easily? What is easiest to put on the floor to catch the “gifts” they leave us? Do they need hidies and tunnels or anything else? Also, does the set up need to change each time? How often do they need floor time? How long should each session be? I kind of need to know the least amount that is still good for them because I live with chronic pain from a car accident and I don’t last too long each time I get busy. Could this possibly be a video? Thank you!
