Does your daughter watch Sponge Bob Squarepants and love his pet snail as much as my son does? LOL What a cool pet! Though I'm sitting here at my computer giggling insanely at the thought of you all standing around waiting for the slowpoke snail to slime it's way back home and forget the whole mating snails thing and hahahahahahaha...oh heavens if I'm finding this all that funny I need a nap...badly! LOL
Congrats on the new pets!

Re: african land snail
thanks... i think so too :)
slither, i'm guessing they are illegal because in the lower states they could survive the winter and would multiply very quickly... eating many crops.

(cause mom, why do you think they shrink right into their shell... cause they're scared of YOU that's why!!! *said with a definite DUH!!! at the end*)
she then told her dad that when he puts the little steriline containers back on the shelf under her fish tank he is to hold on with BOTH hands until they are safely on the shelf... then he can let go!
(yes, she's 7)
WAY TO GO!! Your daughter will make a great vet someday. :colbert2:
