Sleeping Snails

We discovered these sleeping snails in a tree on one of our adventures over the weekend! Nature is incredible.

Suzanne, imagine coming across this lot in the house...!!!

  1. Holy schmoly!

    Are they hibernating or something? I've never seen anything like that!

  2. I've never seen so many snails in one place either! They are hibernating.

  3. Oh Kelly, my children just could not get over this photo! They absolutely love snails, they carry them around and love finding them in the garden.... They were truly amazed!

    We grow veggies and the snails often invade the Fennel and cabbage and the children make sure that each snail is carefully removed before we can pick anything...

  4. Hi Kelly

    I have been busy setting up my Etsy shop and have not browsed around my favourite blogs in a while. Aaron would just jump out of his skin discovering that family. Wow!

    Warm regards
