Altogether 18 species of invertebrates were evidented during investigations on snail farms of Helix pomatia Linnaeus and Helix aspersa O. F. M?ller in Serbia and Montenegro. Of these, 9 species from 8 genera were registered from Serbia, and 9 species from 9 genera were collected from Montenegro. Invertebrate material mostly pertained to insects (orders Coleoptera and Heteroptera) and crustaceans (order Isopoda). Data about exact ecological status of all species of collected invertebrates were also presented. Also we notify clear distinctions between all analyzed species in the type of feeding (the cases of helicophagy, zoophagy, phytophagy, and mixophagy). Ukupno 18 vrsta beskicmenjaka je evidentirano tokom istrazivanja farmi puzeva Helix pomatia Linnaeus i Helix aspersa O. F. M?ller u Srbiji i Crnoj Gori. Od pomenutog broja, 9 vrsta iz 8 rodova je registrovano iz Srbije, dok je 9 vrsta iz 9 rodova prikupljeno u Crnoj Gori. Najveci deo prikupljenog materijala beskicmenjaka pripada insektima (i to redovima Coleoptera i Heteroptera) i rakovima (red Isopoda). Prezentovani su i podaci o tacnom ekoloskom statusu svih vrsta prikupljenih invertebrata. Takodje, primecene su jasne razlike medju analiziranim vrstama na osnovu tipa ishrane (slucajevi helikofagije, zoofagije, fitofagije i miksofagije).
