Yeah, I like referring to animals by their scientific name, but not everyone is animal savvy like that, so I just try to keep it simple :p .
I keep saying Otala Lactea or Rumina Decolotta when talking about my Snails, rather than using their common names (Milk/Spanish Snail & Spiral Snail respectively) or even the names I gave them .
I'm such a bad mommy .
