Re: stick insects and snail help

I would say no,as they need different things eg diet and environment.

Re: stick insects and snail help

The snails need a moist enviroment if stick insects are keep to damp they actually rot and die. Hope this helps.

Don't keep them together because they need different conditions. The snails would be OK in a tank but the stick insects need a much taller cage with mesh sides that they can hook their claws around and climb.
