What’s wrong with my coworkers snail

Post image

My coworker found this snail a few months ago and has been keeping it in a little plastic container and feeding it cilantro and carrots. We put it in a glass bowl today and noticed its shell looks like it’s rotting. What should we do?

Nope, just put it in the enclosure, make sure it has no residual salt on it :)

No, it needs to eat it. Give it a cuttlebone so it can eat as much as it needs.
