Very Informative Article About Oregon Forestsnails

[leila]

A better place for this would probably be in species specific...

Anyways last night I was surfing the web and I finnaly identified the larger snails that have been in my backyard forever as Oregon Forest snails. They are endangered in Canada, and this is the government article about them and why they are getting rarer... It has a ton of details about the species and others in the area... The link is below, I tried to attach the version I annotated but the file is too large.

I never thought they were really anything special as a kid, but I read this and I was like SAY WHATTTTTT? So that was kind of a surprise... as being pets go, in my experience they are not especially social to eachother or humans, so theyre not the most interesting pets, but they are surprisingly speedy

Thanks for that link; I've downloaded the document to read at my leisure this weekend.

haha, probabaly the reason they were nothing special to you was because you were so used to seeing them for people who dont have access to them however or have not seen them before their a pretty interesting species to read up on and add to the wish list ;D
