and you do realise I will now go and take photos with the ruler.

It'll give the camera something to focus on...and help to see how they grow...

Whizzing I think it repeats on Sky 2? I know I watched it the other day.


I have just spent some time looking at snails pictures.

I can't help it guys they are slimey and yucky and people have them on their hands!!!!!

Gags in the corner

It's only mucus - long chain proteins suspended in liquid...

If you think of how much they produce, compared to how much we produce (about a litre per day) - they should be the ones gagging in the corner...

Buffythedebtslayer

I do not produce mucus! I er....glow or something!

I will never hold them well perhaps whilst they are small. poor little sods. I really didn't want them but here they are in a new home, with cuttlefish a rock pool (!) and new peat (which apparently you are not allowed to use but they seem ok!!)

I wish they would stay that size!!

and thank you What a wit, they do look better now.

Buffy, I always used peat with mine. I started on the stuff you buy at pet shops in a brick that then expande once put into water, but it was too expensive. I then moved onto normal garden peat, as long as it hasnt got any added fertilizers in you are fine

Its not wierd its fab stuff, just expensive. I had a 20l tank for my snails and that used to do it 10 times over and the room smelt much nicer when I used it. When I went to normal peat the room always smelled musty :rolleyes:

Hvae a great bbq :j
