I have a small colony of aquatic snails and I love them! When I was a kid my parents bought me and my brother two land snails that had a shell the size of golf ball!

[ResurrectedElvenMonk]

I'm not the biggest fan of them, but don't hate the either. I found these facts are quite fascinating. Great channel content.

[jadenl]

Great video! Snails really are awesome!

[yourshadows]

I love snails so much!!! And slugs! I always buy salad and give it to the snails that live by my house

Nice video, but I never understand why people make videos in which the narrator's voice is competing with the text on the screen. Am I supposed to listen to you talking, or should I pause the video, read the text, rewind and listen to you speak while replaying the video every few seconds? It is tolerable when the text on the screen matches what the narrator is saying, but that is not the case in this video.

I am only writing this for your consideration. You have an excellent channel. Keep up the good work!

Snails are so underrated TvT Theyre so cute and gentle and curious. They also make absolutely wonderful pets!

🐌 The United States Postal Service (USPS) is called SNAIL MAIL to differentiate it from email.

Slugs visit my front porch and leave a thin shiny trail. They move surprisingly quickly when they sense trouble.

The super small snails in the video are like the shells I used to find around the cement driveway when I was a child-- just the shells; I never found a live one.

[Norwyn]

The posession of a Bursa telae with a Gypsobelum (love dart) is actually quite common among the Pulmonata or land lung snails. Those Gypsobeli are also quite important für taxonomy.

[aetherslugstar]

Snail lovedarts aren't mucus. They're made of the same stuff as their shells.

[Pimpsrig]

There’s a bush next to my school that’s home to like BILLIONS of snails I ONLY SEE THEM AT SUNRISE OR NIGHT

[MN-tong]

dude the only rason i watched this was to learn the difference in shell torsion and you didnt even talk about it :(

[xiconicsoul]

Don't snails carry diseases inside their shells that's kinda disturbing
