Hi.
Today [friday 1st] i got my new snail gary. i already have 2 , but got another
He is ENORMOUS [well to me, i seriously doubt hes enormous to everyone else] with a shell length of nearly 13cm!!!!!! I am SO SO SO SOOOOOO happy [ ;D] to have gary. Any tips on how to nurse this poor, brixtonised [ copywrite sophie pearce ] snail back to great health? he seems to have these white bits in his skin... and NO its not bits of tissue! also, his shell lip is very uneven where its been chipped [in post or brixton, i dont know]. Gary was very shy at first took over half an hour to come out his shell, but that was straight after id got him out the post. Now it only takes him 1 or 2 minutes, and its not even been a day! he is very friendly and dosent mind being handled. Since im on the subject of tigers, salty [the bigger of my other 2] was very active today, more than usual [after i'd woken him up]. saraneth is also good, but hasnt come out to play yet, neither of my tigers usually do in the day time, and when i wake them up they just go back into burowing again. this may sound strange but... i think salty was being really active and everything just because i was fussing over gary, seriously!
wo, long post for me, the one with a short attention span!
sophie, kibeth, dianna, brian, saraneth, salty and gary
