Snails

Wish it wasn’t such a hassle to upload videos here. I have some, admittedly poor footage of Mr. Nubs crushing a snail. Did the usual Jackson’s thing and walked right up to it and crunched...no tongue!

Funny jacksons do that. My Panthers and Parsons tongue strike them.

Snails are a great food item, but some people worry about parasites/disease vectors. To avoid this, buy snails, breed them, harvest the eggs and hatch them separately, then feed offf the babies.

Oh ill try that. Do they sell snails at petco or any big pet stores? and can they work as a staple or are they more of a treat

I got roasted for this before, but here’s what I do: go on eBay and look up ‘helix aspersa’. Although, I’d hit up @jamest0o0 , first. Last order I got came from Greece. Although, I feel obligated to say that you should check the legality in your area.

(since most of my feeders are illegal where I am, I obviously DGAF?...nothing’s too good for my chams)
