Snails!

[Kaizen]

God! And I spent an hour pissing around with a soldering iron and making a million tiny holes! ?. Oh well, I guess my little Kenyans get a bin upgrade!

Well there's nothing wrong with ventilation, it is probably good for them, but you just have to mist more often obviously.

An aside: what the heck has him all riled up?

 

[Kaizen]

And yes, I know he looks chubby. Not much I can do about that all summer, cause he tags wild bugs all day long.

I get him thinned down over winter, just in time to go back outside to get fat again.

Hes beautiful!

Hes beautiful!

He’s a pig! He’s still sitting up there like king of jungle! A little full of himself. It’s weird though; of all my chamily, he’s the most gregarious one. He’s never gaped, hissed, lunged or anything, to anybody. Neighbours have picked him up from the top. And Michelle and I rarely handle him, and rarely have—except that one time when his butt prolapsed as a baby, and I shoved it back in.

 

[MissSkittles]

He’s gorgeous! He is King of the jungle. You will refer to him appropriately as His Highness.

He's a beauty!
You're lucky he didn't prolapse again. It's not often they stay in after doing it once.

It’s been 2 years since the day of the butthole, and he takes giant logs on the reg. ?

That's great!

So, is there a preferred species of snail for food?
I am finding triodopsis for considerably less than helix on Ebay....

As I understand it, you want to avoid aquatic snails. That’s all I know. Helix are pretty prolific, but I don’t know about triopodis.
