    I accidently got a population of snails in one aquarium, and they really added beauty and specks of interesting life on both terrain and glass. Their shells where tiny but pretty, and I can really see how nice larger ones would be in a terrarium.

    I’m fortunate enough that I can just go outside in my garden in the summer to see them, but if I lived in a city that would definitely be a nice habitat to keep

      Snails are a common pest in the aquarium community because it’s easy to accidentally transport a bajillion snail eggs home on that new plant you just bought.

      I had a snail infestation that was beyond the point of my being able to manage it (without chemicals, which I wasn’t into) and had given up … until I got a few pea puffers.

      In a week they cleaned the whole tank.

      I think it was just fun for them.

      Little murder balls.
