Whiskey disappeared yesterday. As there's no way to get OUT of his enclosure, I knew he'd gone to ground to lay eggs somewhere, but I had not seen where and could not find him. This morning, I rechecked everything because he should have been close to done. I found him in one of the moss patches, coming back up. Can't wait to see how many there are.

Garden Snail with some shell damage that made them look interesting. I thought they had some scrap paper or something stuck to them at first.

There are 87 live baby snails, 4 empty shells (cannibalized most likely), and 3 slug (infertile or bad) eggs. Two of the slugs were definitely gone bad, the last was still big and white, so I left it in a container with another snail in case it just needed some extra time.

My whole day so far has been spent modding containers and crafting moss cover out of what I cleaned. It covered about half the containers, which means I'll be cleaning more tomorrow morning for the rest, which is fine because the rest of the food dishes arrive then. The snails are all one to a container, so no one eats anyone else while they still can. I'll be grinding up feed for them the rest of tonight that has enough protein to make up for sibling cannibalism, to go with the greens and veggies and oyster shell.

Jeremy the 'lefty' snail sitting with Theresa the 'righty' snail. Jeremy is a sinistral, or left-coiled snail, meaning his organs are reversed. He can only mate with other sinistrals. He found a left-coiled mate, with the help of Nottingham University, called Tomeau!!! His children are dextral (right-coiled) but scientists think that the gene lives on through the mother, so their children may be sinistral, or their childrens children. (yes, they are named after Jeremy Corbyn of the Left wing party in Britian.) credits to the university of nottingham and everybody involved with this project! read more about jeremy and his friends:
