Yes! Their number of swirls indicate how old they are. In the wild, they can live upwards of 10 years. I've found several 7 year olds, 6 year olds, 5 and 4 year olds and one 3 year old! It's quite interesting, and apparently one of the things I have to do is move them out of harms way so no one can step on them. It's like finding miniature treasures. Maybe I'm weird? Take care friend and have a good day!
Wow! I never knew they live that long,interesting getting to know that. Lol you are not weird.
I only found one snail baby today on our hike which I'll include a pic of in tonight's post. He was 5 years old. It's good to know I'm not weird! I was the only girl when I was growing up that I know had pet frogs lol! I played with fuzzy caterpillars and made pets out of the 17 year locusts when they emerged. Thanks for commenting and stopping by! Take care!
