Kissing a snail though - I would have been more worried about the dangers to you, considering that snails and slugs carry salmonella...
Kids have been doing it for years, guess no one has got salmonella from them before.

Re: (Unexpected) Babies!!!

Snails are interesting little things. There are not many around here where I live now, but back at my old house the back yard was infested. I had a big plastic bin filled with substrate and rocks and twigs, etc., various stuff from outside. My dad cut out the top of the lid and replaced it with some wire frame (from doors). I then filled it up with insects and stuff (mostly snails and slugs) and I eventually ended up having to take a ton out, they were multiplying like crazy. Good luck raising them, too!

Re: (Unexpected) Babies!!!

Maybe about 300, I ended up letting them go and trading species out for a varient I have yet to identify.
This past generation was a Globe species, Im pretty sure.

Re: (Unexpected) Babies!!!

I am not sure I would put themin a plant only tank if you have any plants you like in there they will eat almost any plant matter. Had them eat over $200 in orchids in a weekend that I was away.

Oh, that's really cool. I've got a zebra nerite in my tank. Other than that, no other pet snails.

If you like slugs, you should consider Ball Pythons. LOL.. A little less active than a slug but still cool!
