Help SNEX ?!
i woke up this morning to what i believe is snex ( correct me if i'm wrong )
have a few questions ! is that a love dart i see ? also one of them is clearly bigger than the other , i assume he's older right since he has the lip & the other one doesn't? will they both lay eggs? since one is younger, will it not be able to lay eggs? how long can i expect until they lay eggs?

Help Do I have to kill my Lissachatina fulica?
Told a friend who is studying biology about my newest acquisition (a little Lissachatina fulica) and he told me immediately that I have to kill him.
He said that this kind of snail transmits diseases and that I should basically burn him to death and bury him in salt.
Iām aware that snails can transmit diseases and carry parasites, but I wash my hands and sanitize everything after I touch him (which I basically never do).
Am I still at risk even taking all these precautions? Do I really have to kill him?
Weāre in Brazil by the way, so Lissachatina fulica is invasive here. I wouldnāt release him anyways.

March to July, my babies are all grown up.
Like the title says, just sharing my babiesā growth. The main one pictured is Hephaestus. Day one (not of birth, but when I got him) vs now.
I started with 5 tiny babies. Hephaestus, Pancake and Jorge are still here and thriving beautifully (the other two unfortunately were runts and had shell problems).

Help strange "flake" like thing sticking out of my snail's mouth
hi folks, just looking for some advice as I've noticed this unusual protrusion from my snail's mouth. This is an achatina fulica jade. Apologies if the photos aren't the clearest but it was quite hard to photograph.
I initially thought it was some big piece of substrate due to it appearing very thin & irregular but it has not moved in a few days. I've read about gut extrusions and similar things but this doesn't quite look like those.
Would really appreciate any info on this, thanks!

A little plant is growing in my snail vivarium
I found this little plant in my new tiny vivarium for my Subulina octona snails, which I just bought last week. I'm very impressed that it already grew so big, because usually my big GALs need 2-4 days to completely tear a living plant apart. So I'm very curious whether the plant will manage to grow even bigger, or if a tiny snail army will beat it up...who knows..

Help Are they harmful
I have slugs and snails in this enclosure it has some problems with water at the bottom but I'm slowly draining the water and the water smells like shit literally but the enclosure doesn't smell it smells like a forest but the worms they look like pinworms should I get rid of them and if so should I change the enclosure I have a good plan to change the enclosure and not taking the worms with by like luring them out with some high value food and moving all 40-50 slugs and snails slowly until non come to the food any more

Help Should i get 1 or 2 snails
I am going to get a pet snail but I donāt know if sheāll be lonely or not. Should I get 2? I was thinking about getting Garden snails, large or extra large. But obviously the tank would scale accordingly.
Thanks!
