Great pictures. Suprised it wasn't put off by the textured wall.

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Only thing that seems to put them off is salt then they go fizz

My dear departed mother taught us that salt trick way back when....we loved it... A wonder nobody grew up to be an axe murdere after taking such glee in destruction :))

I have a saltwater tank so I get to see snails all the time. One of them just laid about a billion eggs on the glass.

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Thank you Yamin if you get back here you can try it yourself

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Not these, these will eat your plants and saltwater will kill them. What are you going to do with all those eggs

Su-sieee! Mac said...

Amazing photos. Are those its eyes in the "horns"? In the top photo, it looks like it sees you. :-)

Sharon said...

Fantastic Bill. Excellent.

I can see the texture. I've never appreciated a snail before today!

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Could not tell you, I thought they were for senceing things

Billy Blue Eyes said...

I'm afraid I don't appreciate them or their slug relitives they are just a dam pain being round the garden. Stil the thrushes like them
