First, make sure you have everything ready for them. Get a nice, sealed container with a lid. These small creatures LOVE to climb up walls and get out of their box if there isn't a lid (I know this from experience... don't ask....). The lid will help in letting the moisture not escape too fast, since the snails need moisture to survive and to prevent them from dying up (although they will go into their shells if they think the environment is too dry for them).
Add a thick layer of dirt on the ground (I find that my garden snails enjoy dirt better than a plain floor) and a small water dish with a shallow amount of water in it (so they don't drown in it, since garden snails cannot swim or breathe in water).
It is also nice if you give the snails some places to hide, such as a small flowerpot or one of those aquarium decorations they sell at pet stores (I have a bridge for mine... they love going under it). And don't forget to spray the snails with water often.
For food, give them green leafy vegetables (I feed them lettuce all the time), or other vegetables (such as carrots).

What snails are eating your lawn?
They are known as garden snails!
Is it safe to handle a garden snail?
Snails can be quite a pest for a garden, and gardeners usually don't like them (though in my opinion I think they're cute, or maybe that's because I take care of them right now.). This is because garden snails usually eat holes into plants, especially vegetable gardens, like lettuce. So I should say that snails DO harm a garden.
When do you find snails?

Is it possible to have a garden snail as a pet?
Oh yes, it is quite possible! In fact, I am taking care of them currently right now! I think they are pets for beginners, and are quite easy to take care of. If you are in a family that cannot really take care of any big pets like cats and dogs and stuff (just like me) I suggest that you take care of garden snails. They're even free! Go out on a rainy day and collect them from merely your front or back yard! Just feed them green leafy vegetables like lettuce or carrots. You can interact with garden snails a lot too, if you can tolerate their harmless slime (just remember to wash your hands after). If they get used to being captive and you touching them, they soon won't even shrink into their shells when you touch them and will crawl all over you! I suggest that you take care of garden snails as pets, and it is VERY possible to have garden snails as pets in the first place.

What don't garden snails eat?
Well, I think garden snails don't eat a lot of things. On the other hand, garden snails DO eat green vegetables for sure, though I find that they do eat carrots a lot too. They probably won't eat these things (I will only list a few):gumcerealmeat of any kind (they're vegetarians)milkcandyetc...These garden snails pretty much won't eat anything that we can't eat. If we don't eat glue, garden snails don't eat glue. It makes sense, right?Garden snails don't eat anything but what you would find in your garden, no hot dogs or gum. I have only given my captive garden snails: lettuce, cucumber, strawberries, spinach, and carrots. Garden snails shouldn't eat any kind of citrus or any manufactured food, or food that was made people and planted by people.
