– they will wiggle their eye stalks in excitement
– they have favorite places to sleep and favorite friends to sleep with
– they’re good for your skin so let them run around on ur face!!!
– they can feel their shells, which means they can feel u pet them (pet gently!!)
– u can help a snail with a broken shell by giving it eggshells or cuttlebones to scrape (the calcium helps them patch up!)
– they like a change of scenery and will explore all day if u change something
– absolute cuddle bugs. love to snuggle with u, with friends, with dirt
– u can hear them chew!! listen closely when u feed them….. asmr
– as distinct as snowflakes, every single one is different!! i can tell all of my snails apart easily
– babies. absolute baby children
– speaking of babies, baby garden snails are no bigger than raindrops and translucent… delicate!! keep in a separate enclosure until they’re bigger!! baby jail!!!
– some snails are shy……… kiss them. they are important
