Do you have any advice for keeping a couple garden snails as pets??

I have a slug and terrestrial snail care sheet here!

Keep in mind that keeping slugs and snails may vary according to where you live, and there are strict rules about crossing state lines with snails. Be sure to check your local laws first!

For today’s nice bug I had to share this very odd tree snail, Polydontes acutangula, from the family Sagdidae, which is native to Puerto Rico:

I could not for the life of me figure out what was going on with these dudes. Where is the face? Eye stalks? Mouth??? Until I saw this photo!!

Omg. The cutest lil face.
