Limicolaria spectralis is a tropical land snail native to equatorial Africa, widely distributed across the forests and agricultural areas of West and Central Africa. This species is highly prized by enthusiasts because, despite its rarity in the trade, it shares the same husbandry requirements as the more common Limicolaria agathina.
SIZE: Approx. 3–4 cm; reaching 5–6 cm as adults (shell measurements)
FOUND IN : Various regions of Nigeria
ENVIRONMENTAL VALUES: Temperature 25–26°C (day), 22–24°C (night); humidity 80–90% with good ventilation
DIET: Primarily plant-based protein sources; fresh or dried vegetables are highly appreciated but should be fed in moderate amounts to prevent unwanted mold growth. Supplement weekly with calcium carbonate to avoid deficiencies that could lead to shell fractures or malformations.
SETUP: Terrarium or Faunabox (20x20x20 cm or larger); 5 cm coconut fiber substrate; include natural décor (roots, natural ramps, moss, sphagnum, etc.) for climbing and foraging. Misting is essential: every 2–3 days in winter, and daily during the summer.
HABITS: Terrestrial tropical snails with nocturnal habits
BEHAVIOR: Extremely docile
GROWTH RATE: Fast; can reach adult size within one year
LIFESPAN: 2–3 years in captivity
CITES STATUS: No
