Life Cycle of Garden Snails (mating, eggs & babies) | BAO After Work

- Today, I would like to share with you the life cycle I observed on garden snails: mating, laying eggs and babies hatching. I started to keep snails as pet just out of curiosity. The longer I keep them, the I more I find them fascinating. Their life rituals are so alien to me, so different from any pets I've ever known. I can’t stop reading about them and start to purchase other snail varieties online. There isn’t much text on pet snails since I guess only a few people consider them as pet. So my journey is full of trial and error.

"Sometimes they will eat their siblings if they haven't hatched. The baby snails are super cute"
It's adoreable when siblings eat eachother. Is that what u wanna say?then you're right.
Haha killer
@@FantasticCamilo 😂usualy when I talk shit abaut my brother. But that's rare, I love him man.
You are funny dont die.
@@FantasticCamilo thanks! Well what should I say, long life for you to mate. And happy easter.
Music: calming
Baby snail: *CANIBALISM BLYAT*
Even in the most relaxing videos there is always somebody that write BLYAT in the comments LOL.
Me a snail: Ah hahhahahahahhaha
Baby snails to siblings
*CYKA BLYAT!*
*proceeds to eat them*
@@pflh2391 I think u mean crab
Wouldn't it be incestuous cannibalism?
If you are planning on keeping a snail, read this list, i am really good with snails and have 5 of my own.
1: Getting ready
First, you need a habitat! Get a plastic container, make sure it isnt too small, or too big. (I use a plastic food container) Clean it well with NO chemicals, just with warm water. The habitats need clean soil, bacteria and bugs live in soil and harm the snails. I recommend getting garden soil and cleaning it. Get a container of garden soil and put boiling water in it. Shake it and wait till its dry again, the heat will kill bacteria and bugs. After that, make holes in the plastic container. Make sure the holes arent too big nor too small, and make sure the holes arent sharp and cant hurt your snail. Then, put your clean soil in the container and add decorations. Snails need a place to hide when they are scared. Snails are like humans, they want privacy. Get a small plant pot and flip it so it would be like a cave, then push soil into it. Add leaves and rocks, along with some sticks. Snails like to explore. Add some food and get a small bottle cap full of water in there so the snail can drink. Finally, add a cuttle bone in there, its used to provide calcium
2: Food and calcium
Cuttle bones are just the right things to help snails get calcium. Snails will munch on them. Snails need calcium to grow their shells. For food, you can put in things like: carrots, cucumbers, apples, lettuce, leaves ect. DO NOT let the snails eat salty or starchy foods such as potatoes as they are really bad for the snails.
3: I have a snail, now what?
Make sure you have a spray bottle of water, you MUST spray the habitat with water AT LEAST twice a day. When its cold, put warmer water, and when its hot, put cooler water. Snails need water. Clean everything in the habitat and change the soil at least every 3 - 4 days as snails poop alot and it makes the soil dirty. If its your first time keeping snails, only keep ONE as snails will reproduce and make little eggs. Only keep two snails if you are ready to have hundreds of baby snails. Make sure it isnt too hot or too cold in the room either. Dont add paper items because snails will eat them and its bad for them. Dont add anything sharp in the habitat because it will hurt the snail. Snails DONT need baths, the only thing close to a bath you can give them is water, spray warm water on them twice a day. Make sure habitat is
sealed properly, snails are quite strong and can sometimes lift up lids from habitats. If you have any questions, type them in the reply section.
The video stated that baby snails eat their siblings which are not hatched yet,
should I let that happen to my snails?
No, don't add rocks to your habitat. Small rocks in the soil are okay, but big rocks can hurt the snails. If the snail climbs somewhere high, He can fall on the rock and hurt his shell. Also, potatoes should be Fine for snails, try giving them a sweet potato.
@@itsleviosanotleviosa Dont use plant soil. You can buy terranium soil from shops
@Aaron K Yeah, There is probably a way higher chance the snail Will hurt himself if the rock is Sharp, but even if the rock is not Sharp the chance is still There. You can probably add rocks, but I personally don't think snails need them, And I think There are way better things for snails than rocks. Of course every snail likes something diferent, Just sharing my opinion :D
@@itsleviosanotleviosa You can try visiting a pet shop, they usually sell coconut bedding (not sure if its called like this) for reptiles, And I think its very nice for snails. You Will need to change it in some months or weeks though. But I really recommend it, it holds water very well and you can plant some plants in it. If you want something cheaper, a lot of People like to use Moss. Visit a forest, get some and make sure to clean it very well, I am sure you can find videos on how to clean it so There arent any bacterias or something that could hurt your snail. So you can use these two, but I think soil used for indoor plants should be okay. If you plan on buying a snail, You Will probably Visit the pet shop anyways, so you can ask People There, I am sure they Will help you :)
That’s some really good camera quality
i got tons of snails ;---; So i sell some
For ligit 200 pound cause I WILL also i kept 100
Oh yes
😏
I found a very tiny baby snail outside and took it inside i watched some garden snail videos about how to take good care of them and is currently looking very healthy i feed it cucumber and lettuce and egg shells
You are the best parent
Try giving him carrots, bananas or Apples, since cucumber, even if they like it, doesnt contain much vitamins. Try giving it as a treat
Give it apples and bananas its good nutrients for them
I wish I could but I did already and now my parents think I’m obsessed with em lol
Do u know snail TikToks? I think they'll really help u. Be the best snail parent u can be!
I also raise and breed garden snails and this perfectly sums it up!! Especially with the part about seeing their food go down through their body! It’s quite cute!
thank you.
What should I feed my snail besides romaine and carrots?
@@stephanierado9302 they really love kale and different types of melon. avoid acidic fruits, and light greens. make sure they have a calcium source as well, and if they are omnivores, some protein once a week or two, like earthworms, bloodworms, and soldier fly larvae. make sure the protein source is already dead though
I also keep snails, my two adult snails have just recently mated. My snails prefer cucumber, lettuce ,raspberries or snap peas. The eggs are soon going to hatch so I have some lettuce in their container, I change it every day.
@@stephanierado9302 snails will basically eat anything, and they love cucumbers. I give them cucumber sometimes as a treat but most of the time I give them whatever greens or veggies I can get my hands on
How to get a free pet garden snail: wait until it rains get ready put on gloves first check any rocks or gardens or even trees!. If you find one get a small/big food container (empty) then get a fitting lid after that put dirt in the container add lettuce and water and a water bowl then put it somewhere safe! Then y’all got a pet garden snail remember to take care of it! (You are finished!)
신nayoung also don’t forget to put holes in the lid! They need fresh air to stay alive.
Thanks For the info
Its kinda wrong to steal them from their wild home tho
If you love snails you won’t do that it’s like grabbing a random innocent person from the street and putting them in jail only for you’re enjoyment
Samantha mother of cats not really as very common and it helps the snail. Snails don’t have emotions so they don’t care. They get free food, a good habitat that is moist all the time and a great place to live with lots of food. Good place to raise babies so it’s better for the snail
She kinda sounds like jenna marbles imitating kermet. I love it
Amazing baby snails in my home

It’s your wedding night, you and your partner are finally enjoying the time along together. Suddenly, someone walks in and pokes you in the face, then lays on top of you while you and your partner are trying to get at it. They squirm around you, not really seeming to care that you’re clearly busy. This is how a snail do.
Read this in ZeFrank voice.
Noooooi💀💀💀💀
So cool. Thanks for making this. I found some tiny baby snails in my garden and it made me wonder about how they’re born. You answered that for me.
They move so much faster than ppl assume. I remember doing snail races as young kids 6 or 7 y/o.
Ok.... why is this cute? 2:55
You cant stop the cuteness
Nom nom my siblings
Just look how teeny the babes are though! I used to catch these growing up.
Muzin Hiphop they are babys every baby is cute
snails are adorable, they cant help that
That so so cute
thank you!
Youre welcome😄

My pet snail, gary: Am I A Joke To You
RIP Gary, he was old, and he died :(
how old were he when he dead?
@@BaoAfterWork most likely around 20-25. I got him when he was already big. Nobody knew how old he was. He had the lip around the edge of his shell and had a fairly large shell.
@@homebrewHousehold was his shell grey, blue, red?
Gary The Snail
gary where are you?
When I was a child, I used to accidentally squish the eggs and I never knew what they were until I was 11. I cried for a long while after that, with the knowledge that I just recklessly destroyed what could have been a precious life.
Thanks god i dont
Same i killed infant frogs. I still regret to this day
It’s ok. The snails forgive you, for they know you had no real malicious intent 🐌
@@supergamer4015 LMAOO
@Chicken_Beeb _Lord poor slugs..
Baby snail: where do shells come from?
Daddy snail: uhh
hahaha
Aww! The snails are so cute!
i love your accent so much, this video was so calming
I accidentally stepped on a snail over a year ago and at the time I felt so bad about it that I actually cried. People didn't really understand, but how I could I not feel bad? Snails are such gentle and complex creatures.
I am sure you have more than made up for your mistake by now (-:
Lovely video! So much care you give! 🙏🏼
Sometimes, my pet brown garden snail Gary licks me
@Sub The Weirdo Gaming lmao
Lovely, touching 🐌 presentation, THANKS!
I looove my garden snails! Except they are just naturally in my garden. Something always felt off about capturing something that was born free.
I like to think of it as you’re giving them a better life, since you offer them food they probably wouldn’t be able to find in the wild, you’re giving them perfect living conditions, and you’re protecting them from predators.
My pet snails are very happy. I can tell because they mate constantly (a sign that they think their environment is safe) and I have to look for eggs every day 😂
@@giovannapezzolesi216 HELP I HAVE SNAILS AND IDK HOW MANY TIMES TO FEED THEM A WEEK I FEED THEM THREE TIMES A WEEK IS THAT ENOUGH
@@rectangle1242 Just feed them according to how much they need!! Make sure that their food doesn’t rot in the tank and you should be fine (:
@@rectangle1242 feed them every day or until they have finished their food
Thank you very much for all this beautiful information. Your video is beautiful
I'm amazed. I didn't know I needed snails until now 😂
They're very calming and always helped my anxiety!
The thing is, how often should you feed them? And what vegetables/fruits are acceptable? Is there any plants, or flowers that will do?
I already screenshot-ted most of the comments that were useful 😅
They seem to be perfect, very small and adorable, easy to keep!
Hope this makes sense :D
daily, they eat every day, they can eat roses, clovers, but prefer lettuce, carrot, cucumber, pepper, spinach, strawberry, grapes, watermelon, not citrics please, u should give them calcium, etc.
This really was an amazing video..
Lots of things mate and then die, or mate & then live just slightly longer than it takes to reproduce.. and only mate once in their whole life
So, since they have a 6-12hr mating session when they lose their virginity.. they get a pretty good deal compared to some other species like an octopus or a male "drone" bee lol..
Very well done! Informative and entertaining!
Excellent video and very soothing
Very good detailed information along with supportive video. Fascinating
Wow your video is so scenic and informative. Thanks for this.
Awesome footage! I recently began breeding my first terrestrial snails, Oxychilus sp. Though ive kept aquatic snails for a long time. I keep these oxychilus snails in my day gecko terrarium and they really thrive. As for the aquatic snails, i have mysterys, nerites, bladder, bumblebee, nassarius, ramshorn, cappucino, a stomatella etc. Really are some neat critters. Very enjoyable to watch and record. Good stuff 👍
What a beautiful voice. Great video. Thank you.
Thank you kindly! embarrassed about my accent though 😳
it's 4 am and I have to go to work at 8 am. I should sleep but here I am, watching the life cycle of garden snails.
Awww... Too cute. I became interested in snails a couple of days ago, I was going to move my garbage can from the curve when I saw a snail in the middle of the road, I went to pick it up so it wouldn't get ran over, and as soon as I picked it up, it contracted and went inside its shell. I placed it on my lawn, and saw that the garbage man had killed another snail when I picked up my garbage can as it was underneath it. I know they cling to the cans and fence. So, I became intrigued. I never kill them, I know they love my garden as I always find them there. They are soooo cute.
very good, informative and adorable--thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh lala super cute. Thanks for sharing.
I'm High and Drunk AND I'm crying cause those Babysnales are cute ass Hell 😂
They are more transparent and brighter than their parents which is beautiful ☺
Great job with the video!! Highly informative 👍🏼
Nice video! I'm awaiting the next one on snails to take better care of mine. :)
Those baby snails are actually super adorable
I'm sorry but the BEST thing about this video is the lady's accent I love it!!! 🥰
Adorable footage!
The milky color snail is so pretty; definitely want a snail like that. I also really the clear snails. 🥰
Thank you... I didn't know I needed this...
well done such nice videi ,,,keep up
Her voice is soo soothing
Bao After Work, enjoyed your video,ty.
Can't find your do's and don't video.
I just started keeping snails and they just mated.
best birthday gift ever!What would the world be without u kind sir?
my auntie have an aquarium in her house with fishes and 5 snails, we adopted the two snails and it's been a year since we owned them. it amazes me on how we picked exact female and male, and now we have one baby snail it's so small and cute 💖
Actually, snails have both female and male organs, so they basically have two genders. They can't really be one single gender. 😁
@@Vonmunin soo that's why, thanks for the info! ❤️
@@desjumamil Your welcome:)
@@Vonmunin aquarium snails are not like garden snails
Cute and lovely video
What an amazing video
I'm always worried to go for a walk after it rained because I really hate this crunch if I stepp on a snail :( I always feel so guilty!
Same...i also have a phobia for snails so that doesn't help either :(
Hi , what camera do you use ? The quality is amaizing
awwww baby snails are so cute, must protect
What a beautiful video! My 3 & 4 year old daughters have been finding snails all over our property and love them. We enjoyed watching this. And for the people saying the baby snails are cannibalistic.. i believe she meant they eat the siblings egg sack if they haven’t hatched yet. Not that they eat the actual baby snail inside. That was my interpretation of it.
Wonderful Creatures
Super videography 👌👌👌
Thank you :)
She sounds like Mei lol
Super cute video and very informative!
HEYYYYYY MORE SNAIL VIDEOS PLEEEEAAAASSSEEEE 💙
Thankyou for this great video, very informative, I shall be using this knowledge to care for my snails 1st clutch of eggs

I am raising several snail/slug eggs at the moment and will be released after a week from hatching. Hope the rest of you snail fans are having a good time with some snails
Beautiful.
I used to keep snails as pets with my sister. Once we had about 1,000 eggs! I love baby snails!
I have snails all over my condo complex i live by the ocean. Thanks for explaining them!
I’d be fine with human reproduction being “alright, we’re both lazy as fuck, whoever stabs the other first wins”
