Description

The Garlic Snail ( Oxychilus alliarius ) is a small but fascinating species, named for the faint garlic-like odour it releases when handled or disturbed. Its translucent brown shell and active nature make it an unusual but appealing addition to invertebrate collections or bioactive enclosures.

Hardy and adaptable, Garlic Snails thrive in moist, cool environments with plenty of leaf litter, moss, and decaying plant material. They feed on a wide range of foods including algae, fungi, detritus, and soft vegetables, making them easy to care for in captivity.

With their quirky defensive trait and simple care requirements, the Garlic Snail is an excellent species for beginner snail keepers or anyone interested in maintaining unusual European gastropods.
