hey!! i have a story abt snails i think youd like. so when i was like 11 i went to lows with my grandparents and sisters so we could look at plants and flowers and we found a little snail next to one of the plants and one of the workers was gonna kill it so we decided to take it. my sisters are both younger than me and they were so! excited! my grandmother is a little crazy and decided she wanted to keep this snail, and we should name it gary (like from spongebob) so she set up a terrarium (1/?)

nd she did a whole bunch of research to give this snail the best life possible. so she kept gary for about a year in her bathroom terrarium, and my uncles mom has a garden in california and they get a lot of snails i guess, so when he came home, he brought shelly!!!! my grandma was so excited!!!! she put both of them in the terrarium together and they were chillin, until one day gary got a whitish lump in his neck? my grandma hot freaked out, looked it up online and found out that snails (2/?)

don’t actually have a gender, and when they reproduce they just shoot a dart out of their neck (she calls it a “love dart”) and i guess it’s probably filled with sperm or smth. and so gary shot the love dart and then shelly got pregnant and had a lot of snail babies. the rest of the story is sad so i will spare you, but they were so cute!!!!!! (3/3)


Awww ❤️❤️ When I worked in the garden center at Walmart I would find lil banana slugs all the time and I would always rescue them lol ((and ‘love dart’?? 😂))
