It is a small, friendly creature with simple needs. You can keep pet snails in a small container,

providing you care for them properly and make sure they receive enough air, water, and food.

Land snails are suitable pets for elementary-school-age kids, who can learn from watching snails crawl, eat, grow and breed.

Theba Pisana is an air-breathing snail, which has a single lung.

Shell colors: 1) Creamy white.

2) White shells with varying degrees of pale to dark brown uninterrupted spiral bands.

Size: 15 to 20 mm

They have a soft body protected by the shell, but when they are not feeding or when they feel danger, they retract to their shells.

They do most of their day-to-day activities at night or very early in the morning, but if it rains during the day, they usually go out.

In hot or drought periods, land snails retract in their shells and cover the opening with a layer of mucus called epiphragm,

which helps to keep the moisture inside and avoid the attack of animals that can kill them, like some ants.
