Summary

This is a pool for your pet snail (originally designed for genus Achatina) along with refill-tank that prevents drying out the pool when the moisture raises away through the substrate that gets accidentally dropped to the pool. The refill-tank can be also used as a feeder for environmental enrichment, so that your snail won't become lazy ;-)

If the dimensions of this pool do not fit your terrarium worry not - the freeCAD files contain a spreadsheet that allows to remix this thing easily with different dimensions even to complete FreeCAD newbies.

Unsolved problems:

  • Archimedes law. If the snail is too big the pool overflows each time the snail enters, and refills back whenever he leaves, which over-moistures/ruins the surrounding substrate
    and quickly empties the refill tank.
  • in small terrariums the refill tank could serve as a support so the snail is able to push the terrarium lid open and escape.
