De-shelled snails cooked inside the can — not live and not freeze-dried. The shell is already off, so there is no hard casing for the animal to work through and nothing sharp left in the enclosure. They suit turtles, larger lizards, amphibians and fish that would take a snail in the wild. This is a treat, not a staple: at around 71% moisture and 16.9% protein there is not enough in a snail to build a diet on, and it carries no added calcium or vitamin D3.
One 48g can (Exo Terra item PT1956). Exo Terra's own page for this line is written around the 34g size, so the gram figure on their site will not match the can you receive — the product is the same. Pair it with a complete diet such as Adult Floating Pellets, or rotate it with Grasshoppers and Shrimp from our Reptile Food collection. The wider brand range is in our Exo Terra collection.

Feeding Guide
Feed one or two snails as part of the diet, or as a treat. Discard any uneaten portion after 24 hours and refrigerate the can once opened. Offering them with feeding tweezers keeps them off the substrate and keeps your fingers out of range.
