Careful, he'll hide in his shell if you scare him. No scary stories, I don't care if it's October. No candies with red dye in them, it makes him hyper. No cheese either. Please don't teach him any swears.

And I want him in bed by 8pm

Okay, got it. We'll watch adventure time together and find the little snail hiding in every episode.

I'm having trouble making eye contact with him, he's the scary one not me!

I've grown to think their pretty cute, but when I was like 9 being used to snails bering a couple inches big at most, going to a little zoo type thing and seeing a chonky African snail really really freaked me out

Too late. Snail is now a rude potty mouth

If found in the wild, these snails are known to carry a parasite called "Rat Lungworm" which can lead to death or permanent brain damage in humans.

Apparently, you can also get it from not washing your veggies.

he looks really happy, like an exclamation of joy.

There's videos of these guys(Giant African Snails) eating lettuce and stuff that can help visualise what's going on there I don't have the anatomical knowledge to textually describe it
