pyramid snails are evil, evil buggers.

I saw someone had a thread last month I think, where they used Velcro to hold the bottom of the clam together....

We lost 2 of them (from Langley) the same way & still bought a 3rd from there at their boxing day sale. Fortunately we have been able to save this one, looking for those snails. I hope you can still save it.
