What kind of advice? Temperature? Humidity? Tank setup?
I keep and Albino Retic, so do lots of members.

My tank is around 23-25c cool end and 25-27c warm end. I keep the humidity high, around 90% at least. I have a retic and margie in the same tank, and both are active and snailing around happily.
The tank also has lots of fake plants, some moss, half a flowerpot and a plastic strawberry for him to hide in. I'd post a pic but I don't have a camera at the moment.
Edit: there is also a shallow water dish in front of the heat mat to help keep up humidity, and a large food dish where I put the cuttlebone and food.

My spider plants always get eaten too. One grew for a pretty long time in my small species tank but when they discovered it was fun to eat...yeah, lol. I may plant in a new one at some point, the big ones I have grow plantlings like crazy. Oh well, on the other hand, fake plants are easy to keep clean and pretty.  |

Mine was eaten a bit, but it couldn't grow in the low light levels. Although Lucky loved hiding in the roots. |

I've had success with one live plant in my tank it grows wild here but I have a climb to get it as it grows on the mountain, even Marrow and Maple the biggest Margie bulldozers cant destroy it. The Plants called St Patrick's Cabbage, they do nibble at the flowers once in a while but the actual plant they dig up n move around yet I just replant it on a tank tidy and it survives. There not to keen on eating it thankfully.

Zorst, I looked that plant up and it's REALLY pretty! I'll have to look for a plant that can stand that much uprooting, haha.
