I keep several cepaea nemoralis I found outside because sadly here in Canada GALs are illegal. I've actually raised a few babies from the original ones too. One of them I've named Tomato and they're super friendly. They like to crawl on me whenever they can and bump into my fingers until I pet them. I found them in a garden with a heavily damaged shell and nursed them back to health so I think they recognize that I'm not dangerous <3.
That's such a nice story I used to be grossed out by snails but my little sister brought me around lol, her snail is the Achatina Achatina. Both of our snails are captive bred (I made sure) I think one of them is first generation and the other is second or third.
