"You don't have an excess of snails, you have a duck deficiency."

So if you have a giant snail, wouldn't that mean you would have giant slime trails? O, h, (cough, gag, cough). Sorry just the thought of that.... shudder...

A friend of mine picked some up at a small animal swap here. Kept them in a plastic container on his kitchen counter. Veggie scraps went in, huge amounts of slime had to be washed out.

Those slime trails are also known as I-10, Highway 59 (aka The Southwest Freeway), Beltway 8, The 610 Loop, and I-45.
