Snails have became my absolute favorite animal, the only Pringle is that there are very few snail plushies.

However; may I humbly ask to be assigned a snail?

Diagnosis: Trochus radiatus Common name: Banded Trochus

As for your snatchlings... I can't even begin to take a swing at ID from the photo, they're so tiny! Going by the clutch size, though, as well as their commonality in the pet trade, I'm going to guess some species of GALS?
