FREE: African land snail needs a home


Recommended Posts

I wanted to know what it tasted like but did not have the heart to kill it once I got to know it. They are very endearing creatures and we connected on a deeper level.


Unfortunately, I found out that you will need a heated glass tank in order to give it a suitable home and keep it healthy. The life span is also 5-10 years. I would love to keep the snail, whom I have named 'Butter', however, I cannot afford to give him a healthy home.


So I am asking the local community if they have any interest in keeping an exotic, low maintenance and unusual pet.I have linked into a caresheet for your information. The RSPCA also have a similar care sheet.

Otherwise, please let me know if you have an old tank with a lid (for reptile or fish), a heated mat, a humidity thermometer and some limescale/chalk flint?


Please send me an email if you are interested

Wow, lovely! Sadly we can't take her, but I wonder if it's worth posting in the Family Room Classifieds? Also, there are some Facebook groups to which you could post, such as Pets of Telegraph Hill, Se4 Families, and Forest Hill Mums.


Good luck, hope she finds a friendly home. xx

    • It happened again tonight. This time a group of kids ( I hate saying that, because it makes them sound less intimidating than they are), threatened to throw a water bomb at me. When I dared them, they started lobbing them. Then they started saying they were going to kill my dog and one of them jumped over the fence of the Japanese Garden and took a running kick at my dog, who got out of the way. He jumped back over the fence, then came back, came within a meter of me and threw a water bomb really hard at me.  I can't be sure it was exactly the same crowd as last time, though I suspect the male ring leader could be.  The police came and were amazing - as was the park warden - and are fairly confident of the identity of one of them and think they may have tried to arrest him before.  There were maybe as many as 15 of them, aged 16-18, all Caucasian, girls and boys (girls being just as aggressive as the boys). The ring leader is a slight man, dark hair / eyes, possibly with facial hair about 5'6", petite, wearing an all-blue tracksuit.  So please be careful when you're in the park around 6.30 / 7pm. The local SNT have been informed.

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did!
    • But it was under our electoral system in 2019! This must be part of the right-wing media conspiracy that did for Corbyn....;-) Corbyn was very closely allied to Unite and Len....
