I was just wondering... does anyone have pet snails? :3
Before you say, "eww, slimey gross things", you should actually google them and you'd see they're just as good as any pet. I mean, yeah their slimey, but they're not gross
.
I have always been attracted to animals people consider 'boring' or 'slow' or even 'dumb', but these animals are really fun. I had 20 semi-aquatic turtles in my old backyard pond(which I moved from, so I kept the momma and sold the rest ), which people said were boring, but I <3 them so much, their my fav animal :3 .
In that same pond, I had started out w/ 2 aquatic snails, but they multiplied and over ran the pond until I got snail eating fish, so they ate most of the babies. I kept the oldest one when I moved, but I think it died of a lonely heart </3 .
I literally have a tank full of common and spiral shelled land snails that are just so cute :3 . I actually have 6 big ones in a tall rectangular "tank" that I keep oppoasite my bed, next to my big momma turtle, Sora :3 .
Their names are:
Crunchy & Munchy(Their twins I think)
Beau (my funny one :3)
Jazz(The sleepy one)
Klutz(self-explanitory)
And Vi (The Alpha male-technically)
They all have personalities.
I had a seventh one, but he aestivated and passed away .
I was wondering if anyone has had/ has pet snails, whether they be aquatic or land? If not, they're actually quite nice pets to have and I heard that some scientist want to protect snails(from pesticides/etc).
Don't be afraid to get one, common misconceptions people learn as children are that, they suck blood and they stick stuff in you or w/e, but it's not true. They do have tongues with teeth, but they're no where sharp or hard enough to do us harm, and they only eat plants/decaying leaves/fruits.
~Fun Fact~
Did you know snails are noisey eaters? They scrape their food with their tongues, making a 'tearing' or 'purring' sound. :3 (I know, cause Crunchy and Munchy are -always- eating lol)
