giant african land snail

I have recently come into possession of quite a lot of gAls hatchlings, and was wondering if these could be fed to my fire-bellied newts. They are currently feeding on bloodworm and brine shrimp (both frozen) but I don't know if snails would be suitable live food. Thanks for the help! :)

Hi, I have inherited a Giant African Land snail from a school where I work, as they no longer want it. I have followed all the necessary steps for keeping one. However over the past week and a half, it leaves these hard white lumps of on the tank walls. Is this normal or should I be worried...

Hi, I have acquired 7 rather large GALS, the previous owner told us that when she rehomed them they were in a bit of a state, basically their shells were falling apart, splitting, flaking and some having holes in them. She seems to have done a good job in turning them around, but told us there...

On the lookout for some more GALS, for my little boy. He already has two, but would like a few more for him. Not fussed on species, but compatable with Fulicia would be preferred, and would like a couple of adults/babies. Willing to pay for postage

Hi, guys. So I've determined that I have something of a fungus gnat infestation in my GALS tank. I've read that they're not too much a problem in terms of the snails' health, but they're doing my head in and I'd like them gone, basically. Does anybody know of an effective way to deal with...
