On Monday I became the father of 2 adorable little milk snails!! The one sitting on the wolf is Geralt, and the other sitting on the Castle is Jaskier! I'm so excited to be a snail owner! I haven't handled them yet because they've only just got here and I want them to settle in before I try anything, but I'm so glad they're here!!

Also they have their own Tik Tok, its @/snail.morhen if anyone wants to drop a follow!!

things i’ve learned from my pets!

i’ve been allowed to keep a few more pets lately! yay! they’ve had such an incredible impact on my mental health!

after some clusterfucks with my mental health and grades and all that, i’ve been rediscovering my love for ‘strange’ animals and my passion for animal husbandry, working hard on my prereqs for zoology/vet school eventually...

anyways... 

my pet count

🦎1 leopard gecko🦎

🐌1 rescued land snail🐌

🐠30 gallon freshwater tank with livebearers, plecos, snails, tetras, etc🐠

little life lessons from my pets. 

🐌sometimes you just need to take a day off. curl up in a corner and let yourself do absolutely nothing at all for an hour or a day, you’ll be ready to zoom even faster🐌

🐠when people are surprised, scared, and in a new place, they get nippy! shy! defensive as all hell! give it some time and they’ll warm up to you🐠

🦎you need to shed off the old layers. it’ll take hard work and it’ll be exhausting to get all of it off but after you’ll be bigger and stronger🦎

🐌be weird! climb to the top of the tank and fall off on purpose because it’s fun. we might think it’s hella strange later, y’all need to be strange!!🐌

🐠food. food is really good, and it’s okay to eat food. you need it.🐠

🦎sometimes you see things that no one else sees. it’s okay to stare at them, it’s okay to get spooked, but they can’t hurt you.🦎

Question for the more experienced snail keepers out there: what are my snails doing when they piggyback on each others shells?

Inky, my black mystery snail, is the one I see doing it most often, but I've caught the others doing it too. I'm assuming they're not hurting anything, I'm just curious
