yesterday I got a bit sad and decided to draw something cute for myself ❤️

I might have to put P-body down, unfortunately. They've had a mantle tear, been sluggish (excuse the pun), and insist on hanging from the ceiling, which only makes the problem worse, as their shell hangs and tears away more from the body.

They warned me that Lissachatina fulica are very inbred, so I suppose it was inevitable for problems to rise. Atlas seems to be doing well, fortunately. P-body has always been weaker, and smaller.

For now, I'll try to move them to a smaller box, where their shell can rest on the ground when hanging, and hope for the best. If it worsens, I will go through with the euthanasia. :(

Thinking about how my snail Bee Nui does laps at night.

(Ignore the time, I didn't set the camera up properly rip)

Afrika dev salyangozu (Lissachatina fulica), egzotik ve ilginç bir evcil hayvan olarak popülerlik kazanmıştır. Afrika dev salyangozları, diğer evcil hayvanlara göre bakımı daha kolay ve düşük maliyetli olan hayvanlardır. Onlara uygun bir yaşam alanı sağladığınız sürece mutlu olurlar.

This is how big the "snabies" are now, by the way.

That bucket is about a foot diameter. They look huge when you take them out of their terrarium!

(I took them out because Rosie keeps burying herself and I wanted to really thoroughly check there weren't any eggs hidden in the soil. There weren't, but I'm still side-eyeing her lol.)

Update! Diablo's home has survived.

More Diablo pictures below the cut

He fell from the branch last night and decided to not care and use the opportunity to snack on some cucumber from his spa day

Also, Diablo's spa day. He had some dirt trapped in the growth edge of his shell, and I want him to have a beautiful healthy shell so a toothbrush meant for babies is soft enough to not accidentally damage the growth edge

Here you can see what happens when the growth edge is messed with. (There was some dirt trapped underneath it)

There are three species commonly known as giant African land snails -- Lissachatina fulica, Achatina achatina, and Archachatina marginata. Although some popular photos of them online make them appear even larger than life, their title of "giant" is well-earned. All three regularly reach 7-8 inches in length, and larger specimens have been documented.
