TTouch

Here is description that, was written under this video on You Tube: Myrtle, an African snail, receives Tellington TTouch during a Practitioner training session at Tilley Farm near Bath, England. She has been a TTouch fan for a couple of years and if you use light, mindful TTouches she comes out of her shell. During this session, when several practitioners-in-training practiced the TTouch on Myrtle she came completely out of her shell and responded to light TTouches on her shell as well. It was really special for all who had contact with her. Guys, do you know what is this all about, please?

T touch is Tellington touch. Created in america. The actor Tony Head...Merlin, Little Britain & Buffy, his wife uses & teaches it. When I saw Myrtle in that video I decided when I got a Snail that's what I would name her.She enjoys me TTing her.

Maybe my snails could benefit from it

This is very interesting. As I understand it, TTouch was created to be used with horses and it got translated to other common (mammal) pets such as dogs and cats. Mammals need gentle touch to grow properly and to thrive physically and mentally, so it makes sense that such animals would have a positive response to mindful touching in this manner.
I am surprised to see a snail respond, though, since snails are born independent and do not rely on intense caring from its parents to survive (unlike mammal species). Very interesting! It needs to be explored further.

Thanks for posting this. I have a theory that T-touch is similar to the touch of other snails. I often see my snails gently mouthing each other and the other snails responding by coming out of their shells and stretching out. Snails will often mouth each other before mating so the snaily response to T-touch may be an automatic reaction to that type of gently touch perhaps?

Pardon my english I used to keep fulica snails before. They were with me for years and i used to stroke them every day. They were often thinking, that it's other snail and were sticking their little thingies out ;D Bless them, they were so funny. Now i have got marginata snails, they really like being stroked.
