Luna on a wall! :-) You can see how her shell is still transparent in the new growth area in this picture, since she's still growing. But I think her shell's been growing really well overall! :-) She's a stripey snail!

Those are some lovely snails and photos! Every time I try and take a photo It always comes out blurry. From Darklightcow.

My photos are mostly iPhone pictures. To be honest, the phone does most of the work, but I learned a few things about taking pictures of snails when I used to film them:
1. Try to relax and hold your body in a relaxed position when you're taking pictures. Don't hold your breath―breathe. The tension will just make you shaky and make the pictures blurry. 2. Leaning against something to steady yourself is helpful if it's possible! Leaning the camera against something works, too. 3. If your camera has manual focus you might start out trying to focus as near as possible. If it's automatic focus, make sure you're far enough away from the snail that it'll work! For my phone, that's like four inches. 4. Take a whole bunch of pictures in a row! One of them might end up being not blurry :-)
