Snail Habitat Resources

Introduction to Gastropods

Before creating a snail habitat, it is important to research some questions 

to start your thinking.

• What do they need to survive?
  • How long can I keep the snail?
  • What kind of dirt does it need?  What ph levels are needed?
  • What does it eat?
  • How much room does it need to move?
  • How do I keep the habitat clean?
  • What food do they eat? 
  • How many can there be in one habitat?
  • How do I safely pick up a snail?

Students wanting to type out their notes, can use the Animal Inquiry Interactive online tool to help organize their research.
