I don't know much about snails and was wondering how does snail family structure work? Do they show affection. Are the monogamous? Ect etc etc. Really any cool snail facts will work Thanks Have a wonderful day
Grove snails like these are honestly not particularly bright and I don’t think they have any real emotional comprehension. They’re hermaphroditic and they’ll essentially mate with anyone nearby, and I’ve never noticed any real recurring bonds or pairs in the habitat.
Oliver used to come out and greet me when my hands were in the tank, but I suspect that was more because he associated my smell with food. The current generation of snails don’t know a life where my hands didn’t bring food, so they likely don’t care. Penelope used to actually chew on my skin, but she was kind of a weirdo.
Sorry I don’t really have any neat facts about snail families!
