Unless it's a very large bowl (4-5 gallons) then I definitely would not recommend using an aquarium heater. It should adjust to room temp over 24 hours though.

Any reason why you can't feed your snails in the tank though? smile.gif

Before I got a bigger tank{for my snails}..and I realised Sid needed to come out of the fish tank I kept him on a small goldfish bowl inside a washing up bowl..the heater was in the water in the washing up bowl and that kept the water in the little bowl nice and warm...hope that helps Linda

i am deciding to feed them outside the tank cuz my fish wont let them eat in teh tank.. and outside the tank they get an hour or so to eat all their fav foods:D

and thanks:D

You could put the bowl on top your fish tank hood and let the heat from the light keep it warm. smile.gif

if i ever take my snails out to eat i just fill my little bowl with tank water, that way its safe, and the same temp/nitrite/ammonia blah blah blah levels biggrin.gif
