Feeding and Nutrition :: Backyard snails??

[freshprince2146]

Alright guys this might sound like a dumb question.My backyard is a little overrun by snails so i was wondering if regular backyard snails are safe to feed to your res or do the need to be "aquatic" snails??

[blackforces get you]

it doesnt seem safe for me. i dont reccomend it. stick to fish and bugs.


after researching on google, it says its fine. read it here in the section that says protein

A little off topic but that so awesome you snails! i wish we had snails instead we got slugs =(

One thing to consider is if any sort of pesticide/fertilizer/weed killer is used in your yard or any nearby area. These could very well be in the snail, and that wouldn't be good for your turtle.

well...I don't use any pesticide,fertilizer, or weed killer so i guess Im safe right??

Personally I'd be concerned with some kind of parasite problem, but I'm also paranoid!
