Pet Snails? <3

[Last night I found a Blue Otala Lactea!! They're usually brown or beige banded, but this one is a bright blue. Quite unusual I think .

This little guy looks pretty cool

That's the type we have. I squeezed one alittle and water squirted out at me and I giggled .

They're so cute

was that the first time you squeezed something and it squirted you in the face?

I'm just seeing this 3weeks later...

Sir, shame on you! I am a lady .lol

It didn't squirt me in the face, it didn't even squirt very far to be honest. Kinda lack-luster really. Though it probably squirted more than something Mr.Jaxc has... his toy gun of course.

What were you thinking of? .

Here's another type of aquarium snail I have...
(these get to about 1-inch long & thats it)

Me and my ex had 4 of these http://kuva1.kuvablogi.com/iso/img1308.jpg and few fish. I liked how they helped keeping alga off from aquariums walls :biggrin:

~Tiny Update~

It's been awhile and a lot of things have changed, especially their environment... atleast 3 times :tongue: .

Two more snails have grown "lips" on their shells, in addition to Vi who had one along time ago.

Vi[Big guy] & Pi[Small guy] - Pi is partially obscured .


Tobias, Lin & Jazz - they're having a menage a trois j/k . Lin is the one without a "lip"[The one on bottom]


There's two others, but they're sleepy heads and decided not to be awake for some pics :biggrin: .

Oh wow. I've never not come across any animals in a day, let alone snails... I wouldn't know how to cope :frown: .

And it's funny you post that, because the type of snails I care for, are the exact type of snail, along with a few others, that escargot is made of. They were accidentally brought here from France in the 1800's or so I think.

Though I personally do not condone the killing of an animal, you may enjoy it if you wish mile: .
