These guys have been in there for WEEKS with semi-regular bedding changes and infusions of dandelions to nibble. The kids have been loving finding snails outside and bringing them in to captivity. I admit, the snails that (I assume) were brought in first are starting to look a little sluggish (ha!). I think we'd better start a rotating catch and release program. maybe mark successive generations with sharpies. It would be interesting to see if they were catching the same ones over and over again or if they disappeared after release in the wild.Larkin offers to let people hold her "pets" when they come over. She has had a few takers. So far, we have not had a massive jail break.

I second the tag and release idea. Seriously, that'd be rad. No sharpies though! The poor little guys deserve something that'll blend in. How about black light active paint?
