Baby snail on board 🐌

Rainy day with lots of snail activity outside the window.

There's a really high percentage of the orange banded variety of grove snails this year. I haven't counted but they seem to become more common each year. Probably because their sandy-beige base colour matches the house walls, so they evade the birds. (There's a thrush's anvil in my little roof biotope.)

Young orange-banded grove snail being extremely cute and curious 🐌

(Well, the bands are more on the light brown side in this one, but it's part of my somewhat special group of snails with bands in the orange/bronze/light brown range instead of the normal dark brown to black.)

Hello snail experts and home improvement geeks, does old window putty contain interesting/tasty components like chaulk or minerals?
I got a snail in the bathroom that refuses to go back outside to all the nice natural food options, and insists on eating grey window putty (and producing matching grey poop). I moved it outside yesterday but it was back this morning.

Big old orange one still going strong.
It's a chunk of a grove snail, truly.
