Hi,
Does any one here care for snails? Is there anywhere on h2g2 where they are discussed. Thanks

I like snails but have not got any as pets. My cousin used to keep Giant African Land Snails he was on TV once with them.

We had one of these..It/Terence lived for 4 years.They are easy to keep but do need a heated environment in the winter.We used a heat pad under a plastic aquarium.We found bark chippings were the best for Terence to burrow in.
It ate lettuce and fruit mostly.Had to spray him occasionally with warm distilled water.It did enjoy drinking a teeny weeny bit of beer out of my hand from time to time.

It is illegal to import these animals into my country. Some African people did it a few years back and were caught by the customs people. They sent all the snails to the zoo where they have been living happily ever since.

Result for the snails, then.
I dunno. They come over here, try and smuggle themselves through customs, live in our zoos.....
