just wondered, what do people use to keep their GALS in? I want a proper glass tank so i can see them properly, so am hoping to set that up when i move back home, but at the minute they're just in a big plastic box with hols drilled in the top...

how about others/what do people prefer?

and if there has been a thread like this before, i apologise

Hi.
I currently have a large plastic, faunarium I believe they're called. But as plastic scratches so easily, I'm also looking to get a large glass tank.

It doesn't really matter what they're kept in so long as the material is clear and well ventilated but i must admit, i'd rathe have someting that looks nicer too.

My 2 are in a plastic box with holes drilled in the top. it does the job and they are happy living in it.

They were in a glass tank but the sound of the shells scraping against the sides of it was awful!

heh, i guess as long as theyre happy. I mean, mine love their plastic box too. But i would really love to set them up with a glass tank when i get home. They seem to be agorophobic though seems the larger their enclosure gets the less they come out and say hello!

Yes mine were like that to start with, when they were tiny they were in a smaller plastic tank but as they got bigger i upgraded the tank to my storage box and it took them a while to get used to it, they used to hide quite a lot but they are quite active now

My Giant African Land Snails are doing really well in the PSC which I bought specially for them. I mentioned this a while back on the forum. The PSC looks nice and is so easy to clean and the snails love it; I've even had one poking its eye out of the top! I got mine from Small Life Supplies.

ah yeah, just refound your post, sorry

i did say why id need to put compost in all the time though :/

and they do look pretty cool. Just wondering what other people prefer, sorry.

:s

I have a 3 ft tank for my GALS

imo plastic looks a bit cheap and tacky were a glass tank looks all nice and posh lol

Yehh plastc tanks are all right for lil babies but when ther adults a nice big glass tank is perfect ^^ they are going to be living there for around 10 years and you'll be able to re-use it for maybe other animals later on like Spiderrrs, or millipeids

:P
I love to put pretty things in mine, like a big rot proof branch, a nice shallow reptile water dish, huge pile of spagnum moss, 'living' lettucce'.
I would love love love to add a mini water fall that would look stunning.
What sort of stuff do you have in your tanks?
