    The thing is, they poop all over the walls and and lid. Isopds can't climb up to it. I guess you can just whipe it down once it builds up.

    The shell of this species is very thin. I imagine even something like a green tree frog could crack, or digest the shell. I'm keeping a few juvenile giant canyon isopods, and small millipedes with the snails to help clean. I'll be cleaning the snail container myself as well from time to time. However this species really doesn't seem to produce as much waste as some other snails.

    Removing the eggs is a great idea. That way I can have a little more confidence in using them as feeders.

    I didnt think about that part. well guess it will be a messy job. But regardless i think it will be worth it. It is hard to come across feeders with as good nutrional value as snails.

    Exactly, and the more variety the better they always say.
