The Snart of a Snolony

I snaptured some decollate snails to start my own snolony

Those are amazing. I’m assuming a snolony is a snail colony? Do you know what species those are?

Those are decollate snails, they’re invasive here in Texas and came out with all the rain we’ve gotten recently. They eat other snails sometimes which might explain why I haven’t seen any garden snails recently

I love snails!! I used to have an aquatic snail many years ago, I named her Hermes because she was so fast (for a snail she could really book it!) And when I was younger I would cry when my aunt threw the snails from her garden into the street.

My kind of person!! I’m not sure of the species of the snails in my snolony (I got them from the gardens at my university. They’re flat shelled, which could be any of the dozens of species in our area), but they’re so much fun. I have 41, and they all have names. I love watching their personalities!!
