Bye Bye Brian(y)

Brian(y) went to his/her new home today. After hatching, nurturing and loving wee Brian(y), the time came to find a better home for him/her. Unfortunately, I felt Brian(y) needed more space and love than I could offer, so he has been re-homed with a fantastic vet student.

(S)he did get a fun trip to Easter Bush though, complete with oncology lectures, where no snail has been before though. Look how happy (s)he looks:

I miss Brian(y) but know (s)he's gone to a better place, and perhaps a bigger jar...

(P.S. For those that don't understand the brackets: As a hermaphrodite, Brian(y) is both a he and she. There's my snaily fact for the week!)

A GIANT snail!

How's the snails I hear you cry? Well, 1 became 3, which became 5, which again became 3 (after a happy manager at Boot's opticians became the proud owner of 2 snails for his sons). They have grown (slightly) and have moved up the property market to a modern, spacious, modified Ikea jar. Anyway, here's the pictures to prove it: Huge they are!...
