Additional Care Notes

Helix pomatia are primarily a Northern and Eastern European species and are found in some pretty cold places. Currently I have found a relatively dry (70%rH/day, 90%rH/night, cool (13-20°C) environment with a light spray in the evening suits them best. They are found in hotter climbs also, so they do cope with warm temperatures.
