Hehe thanks ;)

Tilly's certainly got a nice meal there! :)
It's hard to ascertain her size from the photos - is she one of the larger types?

Interesting pics EquestrianBabe.

I've never thought of snails as pets, but I'm looking at the last photo and thinking - that's interesting. The name suits her as well!!!

How long do they live for?

Your snail looks so sweet :D
I like snails... as a child I used to look after garden snails, I'd feed them my mums veg and spray them with water every so often... I let them go again after a couple of weeks though.

@ Emma - Tilly is a giant African land snail, she's quite big, fits my whole hand, and weighs more than most of our tortoises ! She is 350-380 g at the minute.

@ Alan - Yep, its a good Sunday dinner :) She gets a lot of veg, on Christmas I plan to try her on some chicken, and I'll be making some 'cakes' out of cut up carrot, broccoli etc. <3 is a heart shape.

@Crwban - They can live for 5 - 10 years. Tilly is coming 3 :)

@ Mrs Cross - I started with them, I remember having a huge fishtank full of them, I had over 40 and then one day I let them all go. We put them in the gardeners plants :lol:

@ Rocio - Not my Tilly ;)
