Look at the size of that!!! This is facinating mamma to the brink of madness... where do you keep them? What do you feed them? Are you planning to breed them? (When mamma was a kiddy wink, she used to collect snails in the garden... Gather them in huge plastic containers, filled with moss... then she added food (normally leaves, grass, plants) and sometimes they layed eggs... after a few days mamma used to stick them back out, so she never actually SAW any babysnails)
