many land snails can peacefully coexist, especially if their general care needs—like temperature, humidity, and diet—are similar. However, there are a few things to keep in mind when creating a community snail setup.
Different species have different growth rates, shell hardness, and slime compositions, which can sometimes lead to accidental damage or stress, especially if one species is much larger than the others. Some species also have slightly different moisture or calcium needs, so it’s important to ensure everyone is getting what they need.
If you decide to mix species, a spacious enclosure with plenty of hiding spots, food, and a consistent supply of calcium will help keep them happy. Just monitor them closely at first to make sure there’s no competition or stress. A well-planned community can be fascinating to watch! 😊🐌
