Description
Habitat
The most common substrate to use is cocohusk. some moss can be used for humidity and also some snails eat it as candy.
Both can usually be bought in pet stores.
You can also add stuff from the nature such as sticks and leafs or moss, just make sure to put it in the oven for a hour at 50c before putting it in, just to kill any insects.
Always use a thermometer and a hygrometer to ensure the right temp and humidity in the tub.
This is an example of a habitat for reticulatas. always use plastic pots so that they dont fall and hit the shell.
Plants
To have plants in the tub can be very appreciated from a snails point of view. They can climb and eat from the plants. It also keeps the moist up and makes it a bit more tropical.
Here is some examples of ok plants to use.
