For those of you living in the appropriate areas of the country, there are two predatory snail species that could be used to control slugs and snails in the enclosures if you wanted to make some trials... The Rosy wolf snail/cannibal snail (Euglandina rosea ) is native to the south-eastern USA and while it gets large if kept as subadults and singly, it won't be able to reproduce in the enclosure. The other option is the decollate snail (Rumina decollata) is another option but it can reproduce even if kept singly and will feed on plants that are damaged or dying so it may be an issue itself.
Permits are definetly required to ship decollate snails across state lines and USDA has restricted the release of decollate snails to specific counties in California to control the introduced brown snail. I don't have any information if the Rosy wolf snail is under the same restrictions or not but it is a thought for those living in the appropriate regions.
