Snails are easy to care for. Snails usually live about 10 years in the wild. But in the cage about 3 to 7 years. Native snails of the region live up to 15 years.
They are safe for humans and other animals. They are very cheap to maintain and rarely get sick.
If they get sick, they will show the symptoms on time and you have enough time to do something for them. Minimal attention is required to maintain them. They die unnoticed.
