    What does he/she live in?

    I have seen them before where they are the size of a person hand ;)

    snails are hermaphrodites so both girl/boy lol it eats lettuce, cucumber etc.. lives in a tank with soil, water, and a cuttlefish to keep it's shell healthy...

    does winning something with an animal on it count? eg a mug :)

    No unless you have a pet who drinks out of a mug. Chimp anyone?

    I do have a cat but she likes to drink water out of a glass or even tea from a mug if she gets the chance, so looks like i could claim the mug - not that I've actually won a mug................

    Ok just to be 100% clear under no circumstances can you claim a prize you haven't actually won. :rotfl:
