Small snails in the worm farm

[David_in_oz]

Hoping that someone on the forum might be able to help me with a snail problem in my worm farm. There is an infestation of small white snails, no more that 4mm long, that I haven't been able to get rid of. see attached image.

Thanks in advance

limited knowledge of snails

is this a british snail or an australian one ?

[David_in_oz]

It's an Australian Snail.
The firm that we bought the worm farm from suggested that it might be too moist, and that drying the farm might get rid of them. Unfortunately no luck so far.

Cheers

Oh dear, can you get a refund / replacement from the firm you got the worms from. It sounds like there were possibly snail eggs in the worm bedding/ mix the worms were supplied in, maybe?
Just a thought.

Just been doing i bit of "looking" they may be Awl-snails. On another web site someone in Brisbane also has the problems of these type of snails in their worm farm?

Good luck.
