What heat mat for my giant african land snails?

What wattage for my snails because there are so many. I have a 13 liter tank

Answer #1

I’m not sure, but be careful. Snails have a possibility of carrying a nasty parasite. I’m not sure if your particular species is a host, but here is a link of the info. The parasite has been linked with certain cancers. I remember one of my professors in college had a ton of snails in which she would conduct cancer research.
