There have been a lot of posts lately sharing very graphic images of snails with extreme, severe injuries. It is perfectly fine to share this type of content if you need help with an injured snail, but please use the NSFW tag for these images.
This has been an unofficial rule of this sub for a while, but it seems to have been forgotten lately. So, I'm making an official mod team announcement: this is our official policy. Graphic, upsetting images must be tagged.
People come to this sub because they love snails. They don't come here expecting to see images of destroyed shells, shell-less snails, and dead snails. It can be very upsetting and distressing for users here to see this type of content unexpectedly. People may also be browsing this sub in public and want to avoid gory images.
Images of mating don't require the NSFW tag. But please use this tag for pictures of injuries including, but not limited to: mantle collapse, shell fell off, crushed shell, organ exposure, stepped-on snail.
Thanks to everyone who has been tagging their posts so far. Again, it's still totally okay to post this content if you need help, but please tag it appropriately so everyone can have a good experience here.

Hello r/snails!
As many of our users are aware, it can be difficult to find reliable, legal, and ethical sellers of captive bred snails.
To better facilitate buying, selling, & adoptions on this sub, we are introducing a seller verification program. Verified Sellers will be users or external sources that have been vetted by mods. Verified Sellers will be allowed to advertise their sales on the sub, and a Verified Sellers tag will applied to their posts to indicate they are a trusted source. Individual users on this sub as well as sellers on external websites are both able to be verified. A list of Verified Sellers organized by location will be added to the bottom of this post, which sellers can chose to opt in to if they wish.
Are you a seller or breeder interested in becoming verified? Send a DM to u/doctorhermitcrab to get started. Breeders who prefer to give snails away rather than sell are also welcome to apply.
Happy snailing!

For my entire life, I've never thought much of snails. I always thought they were cute, sure, but nothing about them particularly interested me. Then, last week, I woke up one morning, and it was like a switch was flipped. Suddenly I thought snails were the coolest thing ever, and they've been on my mind ever since. I've been drawing them, researching them, learning about them... And suddenly my whole life feels a lot brighter.
I had a slow shift at work the other day, so I doodled a snail on a receipt! It's not a specific kind of snail, it's just the snailiest snail my brain could snail.
My favorite snail is the European Ambersnail, which I plan to draw next 🧡

I've had my snail, lovingly named Gooey by my friends, for a little while now and to my knowledge garden snail or european garden snail is more of an umbrella term. a few different snails look similar to him, would anyone be able to pinpoint what he is for me? thanks! I found him in Western Washington, on a beach log of all places.

I don't have an updated photo yet because I am not at home, but my globular drop snail's shell changed from a blue-ish white with spots, to brown. Is that normal? Should I be worried? He seems to really be active and I give him a different food almost everyday. His shell is starting to brown in the first photo but is much more brown today.

I thought it was poop but my auntie thought it may be an organ?
Any help is deeply appreciated! :)

Causally strolling getting snails off the sidewalk (yes in the direction they are heading) I love seeing all their own colorations and patterns on their shells🤎

Hi! Just curious what kind of snails do I have? I’ve looked them up and I keep getting 3 different answers. Google says they are either Glass snails, Asian tramp snails, or Cuban brown snails. My children were playing outside and found them, and asked me if they could keep them. I looked into it and it seemed doable for us. I thought it would be something nice for my kids. They can help take care of them and watch them grow. Just really wondering what kind of snail they are exactly so I can adequately care for them. Thanks.
(Also if it’s inhumane to take wild snails and keep them I understand and can put them back outside. We’ve only had them for a few days.)
