The bunnies are talking...

So, y'all remember how here I said that I was getting a giant African land snail?

Well, I now has said giant African land snail!

Although, if we're being honest, at the moment he's more of totally diddy African land snail...

I got him last Monday, and he's spent the past week buried under the peat in his tank. I only knew he was alive because he kept being buried under different parts of it with only the tip of his shell showing through. But today! Today he was nomming cucumber - which meant I did what I normally do whenever the cat stays still for more than thirty seconds, and got the camera out ::grin::

( Snail under cut... )

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*
