Snails

Not without a license.

 

Yes, you're right I hadn't read it all. So if you see them on your runner beans you must just leave them there to munch to their hearts content!!!!

Yes, but you can do what you like with them there, they are only protected in England.

 

I once painted numbers on Garden Snails, think I got up to about 80.

Only ever saw one of them again.

 

Found a snail whilst doing a wildlife survey at Clarendon Palace, that has an Opperculum. The trap door like a Winkle has, to stop it drying out.

As far as we know, only 2 British species have these.

 

The paint wasn't poisonous was it?

Val

 

I think the trap door is to also keep out predators.

Same paint I used on Crawley, my tortoise.

 

What I find interesting is that I have lived in this area (current house and old house a few roads away) for 10 years, and have never seen them before

 

you may have bought plants and brought them in that way

 

So we can kill them here? or does that not apply as I am English.

 

Its where the snail is, doesn't matter if you're Sais or not

 

Yup, they probably came with some of my new acquisitions from last summer.

 

Ashamed to say I had to look that up in my Welsh dictionary.

 

It was usually accompanied by something that meant illegitimate child when I lived there.
