O.K. my house is just weird, it is like a magnet for all things creepy crawly. i went to take baxter out for the last time of the night and i walk out onto the front lanai and see these things all over which was weird because i had just swept so there shouldn't have been anything on the ground. as i stepped closer i realize it is baby snails but lots of them! i didn't run away, not so scared of the snails but i called caleb to show him, we counted 30 babies, then we saw the 2 couples that must have birthed them right then. snail lovin'! that's something i have never seen!
ahhh, snail lovers
the other couple
snail babies, (the little brown dots)
close up of snail babies, did you know they were born in those little tiny shells? WHAT COULD BE NEXT, LOCUST, FROGS, GECKO BABIES?

We're pretty anti-snail around here (more so when I bother to maintain our "garden" out back). I remember a couple of years ago we were totally inundated with snails and every day we would have snail-chucking contests to see how far we could hurl them over our back fence. some days we would do over 50 of them.
I have been known to break up many a snail PDA session.
And when I've reached my limit I tend to be pretty ruthless with the salt shaker.
Wow! Snails are pretty gross, but I do miss them. We had a bunch start growing in our fish tank there. It was pretty sick.
When I lived in the dorms I had a "pet" one (as much as a snail can be a pet) that lived outside our door & one morning my cousin & friends accidentally stepped on him!!! They didn't know I was awake & tried to replace him with another one without me knowing!!!! Horrible people!
