habitat for humanity

about a month ago a baby snail took up residence in my shower. i don't know how snails mate. the little slugger travels all up and down the shower walls, and sometimes across the ceiling. it leaves snail shit on the tile. i've watched him grow from a tiny little shell to a good sized little guy. he pops his head out and can move pretty quickly these days. i don't know what he eats.

when i went into the bathroom today i didn't see him. i got a little emotional for a minute, but luckily i found him on the back of my jar of face scrub.

slugs in bavaria are huge.

according to wikipedia, most snails are of "herbivorous nature."

You can see them mate in the movie Microcosmos.
