Man, Bill. that is a huge bunch of eggs! I can't believe that she laid on the outside and then went back in. Too cool.

Mine are breeding, but not clutches of that size. A couple of customers at my shop were facinated buy them. I was lucky both times. I had two sanils breeding. I was pretty explicit and showed them that the snails do it by sticking one part inside the other). Then I showed them the eggs and taught them how they drop into the water and turn into real snails. I've only showed the two people who had an interest in them. They both thought that it was cool.

These people what to buy babies from me! Can you imagine that? I would never take money for a snail. Some guy named Bill took the trouble to send me mine for free. I doubt that I would be willing to do that. Whoever this Bill guy is, he's OK.

Your wife needs to get more in touch with nature. Funny story, though.

Naw,she just didn't think she'd be picking up dead things in my son's bedroom.While once in a tree stand,she had an owl almost land on her bow.She's down with nature.

Must have been the way I worded it Liz,she's more of a natualist then me.Hunting,camping.Her first husband did'nt get vactions,he got "leaves",6 weeks.Sounds great at first,except where can you go for 6 weeks when your broke.Camping can be relativly cheap.I belive she's been to 39 states.
