Surprise pet! What do I do now?

I bought a couple Aloe Vera plants on my recent trip to Fuerteventura, in the Canary Islands...

What do I do with her now? She's so tiiiiny. I don't have the faintest idea on how to make her live...
 
She is beautiful:love: Have you noticed any bite marks/damage out of the Aloe?

Do you live in England as I thought you were not aloud to bring soil back through customs?

I guess you need a pot to keep her in. The best thing I find, to feed snails on is cucumber and dark leafy lettuce. But she could be carnivorous, for all I know:lol:

Here is a link to a pet snail forum http://petsnails.proboards.com/index.cgi? maybe they could help you id her. Dont let customs know...

Hopefully this will help! Bless - so cute - and when i googled i found they eat snails over there - so this little one has had a lucky escape!

You may have to do abit of research on finding out what type of snail it is though....and Im not sure if itmay also want a friend!:lol:

oooh very good!:wave:
 
Hm, I don't think she's a Spanish snail as Canary islands are closer to Africa than to Europe. Thanks for everyone's suggestions!
