Jadesmus....you have a snail THAT BIG! YI*KES!

Mine aren't quite the size of those in the picture. I have five snails and the biggest is probably the size from the tip of your index finger to the end of your palm. Well, maybe the size of the smaller one in the picture. :)

WOW...do they make good pets? Do they "know" you?"

I have them in an old aquarium changed into a terrarium. It's actually very interesting and relaxing to see what they're up to, snails aren't boring at all. I think it's a bit like having fishes, there's just something very soothing in the way they move. Slowly and surely. Nah, i'm sure they don't know me or care at all, but they're used to people and touching, so they're dumbly brave (some bird would probably eat them right away..), and seem to get interested in new things you put into the terrarium etc. It's a shame they're pests in many parts of the world (incl. USA?); it's somehow ironic you can by them from many pet stores here in Finland. /:)
