lol i remember when i was younger, me and a friend would put snails on the street and the cars would run them over

when i wss younger my mom paid me and my sister 50 ?re (like 1/14th of a dollar??) for each snail we picked up with a spoon and put in a plastic bag. but not the ones w/ shells, just the gross long ones without. they're claled m?rdarsniglar in swedish (literally murder snails) but idk the english name for them

i think snails w/ shells can be cute, especially tiny ones, but if they're on of those gross ones then Ew No Thx. theyre so gross

I don't have a great snail story but I once saw this post on tumblr where there were multiple snails in a circle on a surface of some sort... and there was one main one in the middle. It was a snail church. I'm so sad I can't find it anymore.

Perhaps they are planning to take over the world for making fun of their speed, and the one in the middle is their leader! D:

Snails are so cute. I have a strawberry water snail in my aquarium.

We call shell-less gastropods slugs here in the states, but honestly I prefer murder snails.

I think snails are pretty cool, but I wouldn't have one as a pet. Sometimes when I am walking at night I will accidentally step on them and crush their shells, and I just feel so awful

murder snails sounds metal as hell for such a slimy little critter

I'd love to get my hands on an albino one.

I used to be obsessed with them when I was a kid. Me and my best friend would collect garden snails and even got a tank for them....named them all, would feed them, take it in turns looking after them.

I lived in the south for most of my childhood, and we would catch snails all the time, and paint there shells so that people wouldn't step on them, it was really cute cause I had this one i put a little smiely face on and it always hung out near my house, I loved my little smiely.

Slugs are ****in nasty

I've seen a lot of photos of people who do this, I thought it was really cute like how people do it for pet hermit crabs too. But honestly I think it would just make them look for delicious to birds. Like maybe if they were garden snails that just hang mostly by your house maybe it'd be less likely.
