    Thanks for your informative video. I just want to give a tip to those who want to use soil from their own garden that they can steralize it in the oven first. 125c for an hour should do the trick. Thanks again from Sweden!

    Hi! So this happened today. I found one of these babies dumped on the side of a garbage bin.. It's about 15 cm long, I'm from Greece and winter is setting in... Obviously I keep it indoors and I will transform an aquarium like I see in the video... Any other advice will be helpful...Thank you ❤

    Can I please ask if anyone knows what to do or what to recommend about being overrun with Isapods, I’m thinking of getting them for my cleanup crew but I know they can breed quickly, and I have no other enclosures to split them between. If anyone has any tips or useful research material I’d be very grateful ☺️

    You know owning these things is illegal right? Like it’s a federal crime. They are incredibly dangerous to humans and can carry a lot of diseases.

    • @Cope.Seethe.
      @Cope.Seethe. 5 місяців тому

      Judging on her accent she is in the UK. They aren't illegal there. Only releasing them into the wild is illegal. Even in the US people in the pet trade keep them but you will get in trouble releasing them or selling them Edit: A lot of people also catch their Giant African landsnails outside in areas where they are invasive and keep them. Id argue they are doing the environment a favor by catching them and keeping them indoors

      @charleecakes 4 місяці тому

      i don't know to much about them, but im pretty sure it's okay, like i had millipedes and they have little bugs crawling on them all the time but it's concerning if there aren't any on them, idk if it's the same for snails

    Hi, loved this really informative video. I help keep my 6yr old Daughter's Africans and garden snails. Is there any more knowledge you can share regarding snails? I get very flustered when we handle them thinking that they will make us ill if we don't wash our hands really well after handling them which puts a downer on handling time. Can you advise if I can relax more when handling them. Are they as dirty as I think they are. I don't want her getting ill from handling them and touching her face without washing thoroughly afterwards. Please help :)
