Hello! First off, I just have to say that it's so amazing to find a community of snail lovers; not enough people are interested in these amazing animals, and it's rather frustrating to try and talk to people in real life about them. Not exactly sure what else to say here, so I suppose I'll start with how I became interested in (and slightly obsessed with) snails...
It all started about five years ago, when I found my first snail, Ember, whom I'm happy to say is still going strong
. For the longest time I had no idea what species she was, and it wasn't until earlier this year that I Identified her as a mesodon normalis. In the time since then, I have accumulated the following snails:
Asian tramp snail x4
Cuban brown snail x1 adult, x13 babies
Queen crater snail x1 (baby)
Mesodon normalis x2
Unknown mesodon species x2
Mountain tigersnail x1 adult, x11 babies
southern flatcoil x2
Triodopsis picea x2
As well as two garden arion slugs, and three dusky arion slugs. As for non snail/slug pets, I have a few millipede species, two american toads, a gray tree frog, and an assassin bug nymph who I'm raising.
Random things about me since that seems to be the thing to do when introducing yourself: I love anything related to science or science fiction, I enjoy designing fantasy creatures on paper as well as with sculpting and writing. And... yeah.. that's about it.
And sorry if I posted this in the wrong place or something...
