Wanting to buy Helix Pomatia

I’ve seen a couple of old posts about this, but I’m looking for some more current information on this. I’m a current resident of Oklahoma and I’m looking to buy a Burgundy Snail. I’ve gotten SO MUCH mixed information about buying them online that I needed to reach out to a community. I won’t be able to get a tank for at least another month, but I want to start trying to find a reputable source to obtain the slimy baby of my dreams.

What are the exact laws for shipping Helix snails across state lines? The internet has been quite vague about it and only focuses on GALS.

where do i buy helix pomatia?? (wales/uk)

i’d really love a couple as pets, i’m going to search for some but i’m thinking buying them could be a better option as wild caught could have diseases (?) and i’m not sure where to find them as apparently they’re a bit rare here ? but i can’t seem to find anywhere that sells them! (apart from bulk buy of 100 and/or in europe, and i dont have the space and don’t want to put them through the long journey, and also not sure about animal import laws now because of brexit) i’ve found a helix aspersa maxima for Β£5 but it said some had damaged shells which i’d rather not have, and also i really like helix pomatia pahaha

so if anyone knows where i could get some that would be great thanks!:))

Whoops just found it’s illegal to keep any helix in FL. Was recommended to get zachrysia instead.

Anyone have adult zachrysia?

Helix Pomatia

I am new to the snail ownership world I would like to get a Helix Pomatia. They seem nice (I also cannot resist the cute texture of your skin!). I found them available on myhappysnail.com. I want to be a good snail parent and take care of them properly. I would also like to make sure that I get them from an ethical source i've only just begun doing all the research that I need to do. I do not intend to buy one just yet, but when I do I would like to know a good source. Any help or advice is appreciated.

Thanks,

A fellow snail lover

Helix Pomatia being very sexually aggressive and (apparently?) attempting to mate with my garden snails?

I have a few large garden snails and one Helix Pomatia. Recently, the Pom laid eggs (he must have been holding on to them for several months because they hatched less than 12 hours after laying).

Ever since he re-emerged from his burrow, he's been quite... forward... with my other snails. He's been showing his head wart a lot, which I believe has some sort of sexual function? He also keeps crawling on or around my 2 largest garden snails and displaying his sexual organs at them. I also found a love dart which I assume is his (it looks bigger than my garden snail's love darts). One of the garden snails was displaying signs of mantle collapse this morning and I believe it is the Pom's fault, since he keeps trying to sit on them while they're crawling up the wall.

I've put the Pom in a separate tank now. Is that all I can do to curb his behaviour? Keep him separate forever? I have no intention of getting another Pom so he will have to be by himself.

How long do Helix Pomatia store eggs? And how long do eggs take to hatch? (Mine burrowed and I found babies less than 12 hours later)

First question. My Pom buried himself last night, and less than 12 hours later, babies started appearing. Are they really his? I didn't realise eggs could hatch that quickly. (My garden snail also burrowed about a month ago but I think I found and froze all of his eggs).

Second question. I have one Pom. I have had him for about 2 months now. Could he have stored sperm for that long and only just decided to use it now? I have researched Poms and it says that they are unable to self-fertilise (apparently they produce egg cells at different times to when they produce sperm, so self-fertilisation cannot take place).

PS: I have read and am following the Breeding and Culling guide.

Helix Pomatia care

Hi snailers!! I’ve ordered my helix pomatia and am super excited! However, i’ve heard contrasting things on what to feed. Some say yes to cucumbers and lettuce. Some say no it has no nutrition value therefore won’t be good for your snail. I want to provide the best care. Any thoughts or personal preferences would be greatly appreciated (:

Do Helix Pomatia and Aspersa see eachother as company?

Hey fellow snail friends! I have 2 adult Helix Pomatia. I used to have 3, but one died recently. I have the opportunity to add some Cornu Aspersa Maxima and Arianta Arbustorum. Are Pomatia and Aspersa close enough to view eachother as company? I mean, I don't want my existing 2 Pomatia to feel isolated or lonely. I read that those 2 specials also crossbreed.

Does anyone of you have experiences with that?

I'm getting helix pomatias (a pair) I dont plan on breeding but i heard they do better with other snails. But ive been getting a lot of mixed information on their care and care for snails in general. My main questions are about what plants are good to grow in a snail terrarium and i saw something saying i should have earthworms or pillbugs to help aerate the soil? any other tips for snails would be greatly appreciated as well! I have a good general knowledge but tips to help them thrive wouls be great.
