AIBU to think that this is really interesting?

Just found a snail with almost all of the shell missing. She (I’ve decided she’s a female-spirited snail) is wandering around happy as Larry. Awesome, or disgusting?

Oh dear, how will she survive without a shell? Neither awesome nor disgusting, but worrying. Perhaps you can keep her in a something safe so birds don't get her. (Also how do snail shells work? Do they grow as snail grows?)

Made me laugh

Doesn't it depend on whether or not you have a garden with plants you've lovingly planted and tendered and whether or not Shell-less Shellie (is it ok to name her?) will eat them?

If you're a gardener, I suspect you'll fashion a sign for the birds with "lunch this way --->" written in birdsong.

I'm not a gardener, but I don't know what kind of person you are if you care.

Vegan?

Make her a new shell out of a pasta shell, not a bow. Don’t really though!

😆 poor snaily.

Maybe make her a home with some salad to eat or leaves or grass (just realised I don’t really know what snails eat).

Then name her. sally snail. 😁

If you were so inclined, you could save her by keeping her in a tank, feeding her veggies and giving a cuttlefish bone to replace Calcium.

My garden is of the jungle variety so no worries there. I put her in a damp place (not difficult to find one today!) and fed her some crushed egg shells. Here she is a while later, looking really happy.

I admired her immensely so I was very happy to help her on her way. Rehoming her in my house was perhaps a step too far!

I had an African snail that I used to race.

I had its shell removed because I was told it'd make it move faster but if anything it just made it more sluggish...

great joke Worra, you really snailed it.

Snailed it!!

🤣
