Snails can eat their way out of cardboard and they tend to be escape artists, so you will need something sturdy.   Wooden boxes work well. Be sure that they are made of decay and termite resistant material. Discarded oil drums are a cheap and workable option as well. Glass or plastic containers work too. If you’re working with just a few snails, a plastic tupperware container would work. For a few more, consider an aquarium. Snails houses need ventilation so that your little friends can breathe. If you are hatching baby snails, consider a wire mesh top so that they can’t escape. If you are fattening up fully grown snails, you can bore holes in the lid of your container as long as they are smaller than your snails. It’s a good idea to bring the structure up to waist-height so that it’s easy to work in.  If you’re planning to keep the snail house outside, legs will help keep predators out as well.  You can use concrete blocks stacked on top of each other for easy legs. You should also place the snailery away from very direct, hot sunlight so that they can easily stay moist. Don’t put them under a vent, because this can cause them to dry out. Put at least 2 inches of potting compost in the bottom of the container.  Give the little critters a shelter, such as tupperware container tipped on its side or a half-buried terracotta pot.   Don’t use soil directly from your garden, because it could contain other organisms as well. Assuming you haven’t planted anything in your container, an intensive system will require you to regularly provide food for your snails. You can give them weeds, vegetable peelings, and pieces of fruit. Avoid plants with hairy leaves and anything that produces poisons.   If any food goes uneaten and starts to rot, remove it from the container. Good fruits for snails include mangos, bananas, pears, eggplant, figs, tomatoes, and cucumbers. Snails need protein, which they can get from sweet potatoes and plantains. Household leftovers such as rice and beans are fine, but be sure that they do not contain salt. The lids of jars or plastic containers work well.  Tap water often contains chlorine, which isn’t good for snails. Give them rain water or water from a bottle.
