Pet Snails? <3

[72jay]

I wouldn't know about the really large snails, as our's only get as big as a newborns fist (couldn't think of anything else :tongue: ), but I've heard that the very large african land snails don't usually break skin, as it's not edible to them. It could happen perhaps, but I don't think the odds are very high.

Actually even the common sold here aquarium snails can break human skin (if they're one of the types that get bigger than one inch (2.54cm) or so)...but its not like a snail is gonna go attack you or something LOL

Do have to be somewhat careful - aquarium snails will sometimes go after sleeping fish though (I never had it happen, but it does sometimes) ... and ofcourse even the small ones will eat a fish that has died (that I've seen plenty of times)

any of the naturally occurring snails (both land & water types) I've seen here have been small - less than a half inch.
