1,600 Decollate Snails captured in back yard !

Yes, folks, that’s right.  Not even *I* would have believed THAT many.  I spent not quite 3 more hours today picking up more than 1,200 additional Decollate Snails in really just a small patch of the yard.  That brings my total to now 1,600 snails !

You might think I stopped because it was getting harder and slower to find them, but you’d be dead wrong.  After each 100 collected, I’d come back to the porch, dump them in the terrarium, and head back out in to the yard finding even as many as 10 more right at the same first small patch of ground I started at LAST dump, just a 10-15 minutes earlier!

No, kids… the reason I stopped is because, quite honestly… I just got tired of counting snails!  After 3 hours and 1,600 snails I bet you would too.

I took some pictures, and some video, and will have them posted soon. Time to just RELAX a little for now.
