What’s going on with my snails?

[C0wabunga]

I got two snails from petsmart about maybe a month ago. I’ve noticed that their antennas have grown very noticeably in size(length)What does this mean? Are they sick?

What kind of snail is it? Can you post a photo?

I can only see antennas growing being a positive thing.

I won’t lie, I’m not entirely sure what type of snails these are. This black/brown one was bought with what seemed to be a crack in their shell

Those do seem long. To keep strong shells try feeding Hikari Crab Cuisine. Add a bird department supplement plain Cuttlebone. You can also add a cleaned chicken egg shell over the top of the crack if it seems worrisome.

But feeding them some clean, organic greens could be helpful too for additional vitamins and minerals.

Those look like Mystery Snails. One with stripes might be called Chestnut, or just Black.

Chestnut mystery snails. Some sellers just call them brown striped or black striped. Every one I've ever had grew to quite large proportions, starting with the antennas. I liken it to a puppy's feet growing first, then the rest of the body (birds too: first the feet and beak, then the body catches up). So they could be quite young and go into a growth phase in the next month.
