George

[pophammy]

I'm not sure if you have met George before, but here he is anyway! George is a Giant African Land Snail and I got him last Christmas. He was the size of my pinky nail and now he is the length of a teaspoon! He should be the size of my fist when he is full grown and he is nearing that now. He is very fussy and refuses to eat anything apart from cucumber! He used to be quite shy but now he will happily come out when you pick him up!

Oh Andrea! George is offended and has hidden in his shell! :o :wink:

I'm so sorry George! I'm sure you're very nice indeed! It's me, I've always been a "bit funny" where slugs and snails are concerned :wink:
