I am just feeling all 'gooey' lol. Bobby and Maisy are such little personalities all of their own, I have really fallen for them! Am I crazy??

only as crazy as the rest of us,  i love all my snails but the margies have my heart the most (shussh dont tell the others!) When i hatch up some eggs to keep a few babies for myself i hate selling on the others i just want to keep them all! When Watson and Nessus (my very first margies, watson was a rescue from ebay who had been kept rather badly and nessus was from one of the forums) had their very first clutch and i let it hatch it only produced 5 snailies of which i was going to keep two, these later became Loki, Fenrir, Thor, freyja and freyr. So much for only keeping two... Thor died about a year ago i was devastated. but these were my very first margie babies. Once we lost all electricity and heating when i was living in london, during a really cold winter. I bundled all my snails up in moss in a plastic box and ended up sleeping with them in my bed to keep them warm, during the evenings i would cradle them infront of the fire and not do anything else for fear of them cooling too much or overheating by the fire, thankfully a day or two later a friend let us stay at theirs so i could get them all set up and warm in their tanks. |

I, too, have slept with my snails to keep them warm. We had a cold snap in late March-early April and I didn't have a heating pad. They were still so small at that point that I just curled up with their shoebox-sized home. No, you're no crazier than the rest of us. |

I have even taken to looking for snail related collectables now. I wonder if there is a snail watch anywhere. My family think I am snail potty - guilty as charged!

Guilty of loving the slimers too. I'm taking care of a friend's cat and plants for a week and her garden is bursting with slimyfaces. So I help the wild guys out with some food and by training them to stay out of the nice plants (put food at certain locations and they learn to remember where food is). That nutty I am about slimers.

Those of you who have slept with your slimeys! <3
I think Bobby and Maisy are getting to know me now, they let me stroke them and the twist their little heads round to look at me then cock it to one side! <3
Hubby DOES NOT get it at all! Lol
