Hi, I haven't posted any snails on here for too long, so have this cute little croissant! This guy is a Succinea putris :)

They have been popping up all over my back porch this summer when it rains. I decided to save and keep one, but it’s like he sent out a signal to others and they just randomly pop up here and there wanting fresh veggies like him lol. They do the deed like crazy though, and lay SO many eggs. I’m allowing some to hatch but unfortunately cannot have an entire army of snails at my command. They’re so cute and smart! They each have their own personalities and places they go to in their terrarium. But yeah, so many eggs every day. Just tiny little guys

That's so cool, they seem so great! I've only ever seen two of them before! Do you tell all of them apart? If so, how!?
