Hi,

As well as loving tortoises, I also have a huge passion for snails and, of course, my little Russian Dwarf Hamster.

Seraphina, my new baby Helix Aspersa

The Cepaea Hortensis I found yesterday. She has a damaged lip (shell lip), and is on intensive calcium supplements to build it up again

The other C. Hortensis I rescued yesterday. This one's badly dehydrated:

Ok so I have to say I really enjoyed your snails...who'da thought? And I am so curious...how can you tell the snail is dehydrated? Not slippery? :)

What great pets :) I never looked at a snail as a pet but they are kinda neat. The hamster is super cute :)

I really love your snails! Your hamster is adorable too but there is something captivating about your snails.

I don't get the snail thing. My garden is over run with them. But I raise worms so I really souldn't judge LOL. The second snail looked different than the snails I find. Is it a special breed? I have some strange snails in my yard. They have a pointed shell. They appered after my next door nieghbor planted a bunch of Red Apple ground cover. PM me if you want some of my snails. Oh ya the hampster is very cute. You take great photos:)
