Expanding the Family...

So, a woman I work with has two giant African land snails and, due to them being sneaky buggers when she was cleaning out their tanks (they're kept in separate tanks normally) she ended up with eggs. Lots and lots of eggs.

Claire, says she, do you want a snail?

o_O, says me.

You thought Jeremy was cute, says she. (Jeremy being her three year old snail. And, yes, I may have been holding him on my hand telling him how adorable he was while other people looked on with wtf faces...))

O_o, says me.

Just thought I'd ask, says she.

O_O, says me.

?, says she.

Oh, I couldn't, says me. Well, go on then...

So, to cut a long story short, I has a snail!

Okay, well, not yet, I don't. The egg hatched at the weekend, but she's keeping him for a couple of weeks to make sure he's okay and then I'm bringing him home.

At which point you will get many pictures of my snail.

Who is called Spencer.

Yes, he is *nods*
