If low voltage DC isn't enough,maybe you could try a small inverter,wire the output directly to the tape. -On second thought,add a large resistor in series with the tape,to limit the current.You don't want to cook the snails,or start a fire.

If DC would work,that would be the simplest solution.You may need to experiment a bit,and find a voltage that's high enough,12,24,36? I've no idea. But,all you would need would be a battery for storage,and some solar panels. I don't think either would have to be very large/expensive.
