I had some pretty bad anxiety, so my hands were shaking awfully I’m sorry, but holding my snaby and watching him eat his strawberry made me feel better
I love all my pet snails! These are just some of them! In the first picture is (from right to left) Grizelda, Hazel (above), Patchy (below), and Olive, and in the second picture is Gerald. The first four are mystery snails, a species of freshwater snail, and Gerald is a garden snail.
Gerald in his picture is sporting his horny head lump, which is used by snails to try and attract mates by emitting a scent (apparently). He’s currently trying to woo his tank mate Geraldina but she is completely ignoring him so far
“Their colours come from their diet, lichen and mosses rich in minerals that give the shells these stunning colours. They differ according to the particular mix of plants that each snail has been eating.” - David Attenborough

Attenborough‘s Life In Colour
Cuba has a spectacular variety of snails but I feel like everyone here also needs to know about Haitian tree snails (aka candy cane snails! because they needed to be even cuter somehow!), just for the sake of knowing ALL the ridiculously pretty snailios.
