Lovely though they may be, I don't want them crawling on my mucus tracks!No, they certainly do not jump, but crawl on a mucus track ....
I love snails. When I was a child I often collected a couple of snails ( the ones with a house ) in a bucket. In this bucket I put soil and grass and weeds so the snails have something to eat and feel good.
That`s what I want to do with the African snails: Build a home / habitat that fits to them.

Yes, i too used to keep slugs and snails as pets
Sometimes they would escape, much to my mother's annoyance
Sabine, if you love snails, you might enjoy a little book called "The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating." It's a very short book and an easy read. It's a true account of a young woman who his horribly stricken with some sort of bizarre neurologic disorder that renders ANY movement impossibly fatiguing. A friend finds a wild snail to keep her company. The story is about the relationship between her and the snail and how it helped her cope with her situation. It has a happy ending for all.
I got my book from Amazon, and liked it so much I bought other copies to give to friends I know who appreciate ALL forms of life, however humble or "lowly."

I will look this up and pay a visit to my friend Amazon
I did not keep snails or slugs as pets, but I kept mold. Any food in our house or refrigerator that started growing mold of any color, I put in a jar and kept in my room. Mother insisted that I keep the jars of mold under my bed. It was quite fascinating to watch the molds go through their growth and color changes: pink, orange, red, brown and green etc. I often had quite a few jars under my bed! Of course they all ended up black in the end and got tossed out. But I still found the changes fascinating.Yes, i too used to keep slugs and snails as pets

Hi Sabine - one of my colleagues kept those in his classroom but they were very smelly!!!!
One of our young members rescued 3 garden snails and looked after them until she released them.
Wonder where and how @spudthetortoise is these days. Hope she's not injured herself !
I'm sure she's fine.
i remember her snails, that was nice.
I think she's just spending a lot of time with her friends and the You Tubers.
Ah yes I forgot about the loves of her life!
Hope Spud is OK I haven't looked at his thread lately.
Are you recovering from your busy Christmasses?
I'm tired, but quite well.
After drinking a tad too much first Christmas I was very good New year and second Christmas.
But it's all been terrific fun and I think the TORTOISE and card exchange were both successful.
Very happy, but back to work tomorrow.
