Description
So this is the cute little snail I've been taking care of, since I accidentally chipped off a piece of the top layer of his shell when I dropped him (yes, I pick up random critters I find on sidewalks). I didn't want any birds punching through the thin little membrane that was left. x:Fortunately it seems to be thickening back up on its own (doesn't even give when I poke it anymore), and I should be able to to set him free before I start the drive back to Ohio on Sunday.
Anyways, I find little snail eyes to be so expressive that I couldn't help but draw him (it? Snails are hermaphrodites, so I picked a gender-ambiguous name and use male pronouns.
).

I tried to save a snail once. But then I tripped and stepped on it. I cried. :/

it's also a really fitting name as snails leave a slimey trace behind
so, I'm not the only one who picks up little critters off the street?
though I usually drop the snails and earthworms in the grass on the other side
must look really weird to other people

I wonder if my aquarium snails are that cute.... I doubt they'd let me find out!
You're right. Snails are incredibly expressive with their little eyestalks and facenubs.

I heart snails!
I named the ones in our work fish tank, and coo at them all the time. Needless to say my co-workers all think I'm nuts.

Escargot!
(I do that with snails too. My mom and dad say chuck 'em in the street, but I just pick them up and place them somewheres else. Or have snail raecs..)
Hah, these are so expressive! I love the eyes.
