All winter there has been a snail about 6' up the wall of my indoor outhouse, and I'd begun to wonder if it was still alive. Today, however, it has moved about three feet down and slightly to the left, so I guess it's just been a deep sleeper  I'm rubbish with native snails - anyone know what it is? This is the only picture I can get without disturbing it. It's maybe 20, 25mm.  |

nah, you peel of the backing and a snail hologram pops out, or it inflates into a snail so its like you have one, when in reality you don't. or mabye you should make cuddly snails every time you feel tempted? Yes, I am mad.  and yes, I make cuddly snails, not very good ones, but I'm not very good at sewing |
