[Food] Giant African Snail being given away in England

[Nottseagull]

I've seen these on TV in their homeland but didn't know there were any in this country. What if they got out and started breeding with the locals? If it's a male, you have to feel sorry for the poor British female it forces itself on! I've messaged the owner about Toby (it's his pet's name!) warning him not to give it to anyone with a French accent. I know Gumtree can be a bit dodgy but why would the same person be saying it's in London, Birmingham and Manchester?

Looks a bit scam-like to me. Same ad but 3 different locations. Hmmmmm.

Selling Giant African Snails, but sending garden snails and telling them it's a baby

Do they travel Snail Mail ?

I think that was the one on the seafront by the Palace Pier.

They are hemaphrodite, if anybody wants some I have loads of them, smaller than the ones pictured. PM me if you would like some, a lot of mine are on death row.

That'll be a hell of a snail trail to contend with

I think the Romans brought our snails over (thanks Romans), but I thought they were supposed to be bigger. Have ours descended from larger ones like these?

I saw a slug outside Morrisons recently, selling the Big Issue.

I took the shell off my racing snail thinking it would go faster.

But now it's really sluggish.

That's one of best jokes I've seen in a decade on NSC!

Start feeding them Garlic and Parsley and I'll be in touch in a months time.
