Hi everyone,
Spring has finally come for good! For summer, I was thinking about getting a few new species, especially Anguispira alternata. I've made some research about them, some people have been very nice by answering to my questions on another thread, but now, I am wondering; has anyone ever found Anguispira alternata in Montreal, Quebec? I ask this because if I get two Anguispira alternata and they get eggs, if I can't free them, my parents (especially my father) will have a heart attack (almost, because when I've told them about my project, they were like, will you be able to free the babies?)!
So, I was thinking about looking for some in Mont Royal natural park. And that's where the real question comes; how do you look for them? Are they as easy to find as Cepaea, or you have to remove dirt or dead leaves, look on trees and under rocks? If you own some, even if you don't live in Montreal, how did you find your Anguispira alternata?
If I can't find any, I was thinking about getting Cepaea hortensis (or maybe getting some even if I can find Anguispira alternata, though it's not sure at all). I have to discuss with my parents with this!
And there's one last thing; I'd like to share a very weird dream. I was cleaning up the house with my family, and then, I've found an old, dirty bag with a living Anguispira alternata in it! Then, when I got outside, I looked in the bush in front of the house, and there was another one! I can't remember the rest, but it was SOOO weird!
Thank you if you share about how you've found Anguispira alternata!
