If you put the snails in at night and mist afterwards, they will start to move
and the geckos will notice them. There are hundreds of snail species in Madagascar
and they are instantly recognized as food. Males will likely ignore them.
Females will eat some, but if you provide them often, they may not always eat
them either. One or two snails every week or two seems to be enough.
Non-breeding females are also less likely to eat many snails.
I use snails around the size of the gecko's eyeball, or a bit smaller. Some
species of slugs may also be eaten if they're not too slimy.

So I went out today and gathered a bunch of small snails in hopes of feeding them to my satanics. But how do I feed them? I cant just drop them in the tank can I? Dont think they would catch the geckos interest that way. And its not all that easy to just place the snail in front of them since they tend to move away from my hand. Any help is appreciated.
