You know Mystery snails?

those ones that everyone says DON'T eat plants??

Well, they PREFER other foods, but they do seem to get a little nibbly when it comes to my plants!

I KNOW there are many species that fall under the heading of Apple/Mystery snail, but i have 2, and both seem to like my plants *tantrum* and the worst bit is... i LOVE watching them eat!

this is my adopted snail, Spud, munching on some Salvinia (a declared pest, but i didnt know that when i got it)
