I keep snails too,it is an odd choice of pet yes but as I`m sure other snail lovers will agree,they`re great! I love just watching mine snail about the tank! that and I think they`re quite angelic looking.I think it takes a special type of person to be interested in looking after snails, theres a great site I go on called petsnails.co.uk we`d love to have some new members!
