I actually know a thing or two about snails, so I was glad when they found one. Pepper ran inside to get a Tupperware so she could keep it for a pet. It took a while to convince her its home is outdoors. The kids could tell you...
*The average snail lives around 15 Years
*They can nap up to 3 years
*Snails LOVE lettuce (you can keep them out of your garden by surrounding it with copper)
*A sticky trail follows wherever they go
*Two rows of teeth are found in their mouth
and I can tell you... they carry both sperm and eggs. When two mate, both carry eggs. I find that so weird. But I did not try and explain that to the kids.
