Snails Large (Insect Length 2.5–3cm, Approx. Weight 7–11g)

Large snails are a substantial and nutritious live food for larger reptiles, amphibians, and omnivores. Their soft tissue and calcium-dense shells offer a balanced source of moisture, minerals, and protein, supporting bone strength, muscle development, and healthy growth. Larger snails are ideal for species that naturally consume molluscs in the wild, providing both physical and mental enrichment during feeding.

Rinse snails before feeding and dust with ProRep Calci Dust or NutriRep to enhance their already high calcium value. Large snails are excellent for enriching feeding routines, encouraging natural predatory responses, and supporting healthy growth in large reptiles such as monitors and tegus.
