ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous blog! I see a long, successful career in front of you!
ReplyDeleteWow! This great. Thanks for the step by step instructions!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading your future posts!
This is a great idea- I'm sure my kids would love building a snail and slug habitat. Can't wait to see more ideas- hopefully with lots of bugs!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! We love making habitats for critters. I will share this with my kids. Currently they have 2 hermit crab habitats, one for a fire-bellied toad, a Beta fish, and some tadpoles that we found in our pool. I look forward to reading more of your posts! Great step by step instructions.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so cooll, I can't wait to make one for myself.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I love little terrariums, so wonderful to observe creatures up close. Well done.
ReplyDeleteNice blog with clear writing and directions! Carolyn
ReplyDeleteI'm sure my kids would be excited to try this!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure my kids will be excited to try this!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! What a fun idea! Thanks so much. You have given me fantastic instructions on how to make my own terrarium. I look forward to seeing more of your fun ideas! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm excited about your blog - we have so much to learn from you about bugs and little creatures. I'm wondering about cleaning your terrarium. It seems different snails produce different degrees of mess. I had English snails once that didn't require much cleaning but we had to clean our Florida snail terrarium pretty often. Maybe just because they were bigger? How often do you clean your terrarium and what's your method?
ReplyDeleteThis looks really cool! How many slugs and snails did you put in? I like your details about what to feed them - great post!
ReplyDeleteGreat post with wonderfully clear directions. Are there other kinds of bugs or creatures that could safely go in, too?
ReplyDeleteThis looks wonderful, great job!!! We can't wait to see whats next:)
ReplyDeleteCool, maybe you can show me how to make one in person next time I go down there to visit :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Very clear instructions and a very cool idea!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE terrariums. AND I love the straight-forward directions! Sounds like a fun project!
ReplyDeleteI love your step by step instructions!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea - I've now got to go out and find a big enough jar to house the mountain of snails and slugs that my son would like to put in it.
ReplyDeleteWow! I really like your terrarium! I bet my son would love to have one so he could look at snails and slugs, too!
ReplyDeleteGood idea! Slugs will be easy to find (on Dad's garden), but I don't know where to find any snails. :( The rest of the materials are also at my house.
ReplyDeleteHow neat! You are always doing something interesting and we love hearing about it. I hope we get to see it when we come down again
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work!
How fun I'm sure my boys would like doing this.
ReplyDeleteHow cool! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMy son would enjoy making a terrarium like this. :) We'll have to check out your book suggestion, too. What observations do you expect to make?
ReplyDeletecan't wait to try this with my kids! great pics!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea. My son would LOVE this and your instructions are so clear and easy to follow. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWe just found a slug in our Florida backyard this past week! Next time we find one we'll make your habitat, thanks for sharing your great idea! Where do you find your snails the easiest?
