    It really depends on what type of snails you want to get, but be sure to start off you get native snails. That way if you tire of then or cannot maintain them you can release them back into the wild. Snails enjoy a moist environment so be sure to buy a mister, they enjoy tree bark, I believe Pete Moss ((double check that)), cucumbers. There are also plants you can buy to put in their container for a self sustained environment. It is good to also put rocks in their housing and I find a nice flower pot turned on it's side allows them to sleep in comfort. You should occasionally clean their shells and the sides of the tank. Also eggshells are a good sorce of food that helps them build their own shells up. Though it must be said that I at the moment own grove snails which are about the size of a quarter and not that hard to maintain. Also be careful of chemicals snails are sensitive to them.
