Went to our petshop today and had to look at the Snails ;D I noticed a tiny body in amongst the Biggies......OOPS I just had to pick him up and have a closer look. The poor little mite was in a bad way, all squashed and deformed. His shell was also badly cracked and split SO I did the sensible thing AND payed the ransom and brought him home ;DHe enjoyed eating mango and has buried his head in the first soil he's ever seen...he was kept in a small over stocked tank on bark chips. I know he will probably never be a big strong Snail but at least now he will have a happy life full of love and good food with plenty of space to slime. I've named him Butternut
