At home, this evening, just now:

a snail sat on the core of a bell pepper, head firmly embedded in the hole it's munched out


One of the snails A accidentally brought home because Pretty, on the core of the bell pepper from yesterday's dinner. They do this glorious thing where they sweep their faces back and forth, gently grazing all the while, and in this instance it has eaten its way into the core of the bell pepper and just voluntarily put its head back in there to continue monching. (LISTEN and you'll HEAR the SNAILS go MUNCH, thank you Roald Dahl...)

At the allotment, as discussed on Sunday, I accidentally disturbed a plant full of snail babies. Herewith two photos of the one I was fondest of. Read more... )

[Note that redditors are very Oh No That Is An Unhappy Snail (Or A Horny Snail), but... it's too small to be horny (as far as anyone knows); nobody else in the tank is exhibiting stress and indeed I've accidentally trained at least one of them that it doesn't need to retract if it gets unceremoniously booped in the face because the thing it has been face-booped with is undoubtedly Tasty Noms; and it's been doing this intermittently the entire time we've been observing it, apparently completely spontaneously, while otherwise as happy and curious as it's possible for something without, you know, a central nervous system... to be. We are kind of at "maybe it just likes stimming ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"]

Short video of our most recent rescue snail Discovering Cuttlebone (my hand, A filming, volume up). It has grown several more millimetres of new shell since then, and A has decided it is sufficiently rehabilitated (and sturdy) to be reintroduced to the main tank...

... and has promptly decided it'd be Hilarious to hitch a lift on Origisnel's shell because it can't be bothered to climb up the sides to the lid itself.

Meanwhile, this morning we woke up to discover the two elder snails fucking again.
