snail question

[wrs]

I got a free gift at petco today, its one of those critter keeper things. Its 1/2 a gallon and no filter, of course. But can I keep snails in that? Or is that to small for them . I kinda want ones that will have babies. And some cool ones. My brother has some snails, but theyre really ugly apple snails, so I want to stay away from that. Also I do temporarly have my female betta in there as she is waiting for a new home, so I dont want her to eat them.

I have a lot of (uninvited!) snails living and breeding happily in a 1/2 gallon cookie jar on my windowsill. I have plants in it like a sort of water garden thingy and the snails decided to move in. the temp goes from 20 to 40 but doesn't seem to bother them, however these are just common "pest" snails, if you're wanting something fancy it might be more temperamental.
