We kept them outside in a cardboard box and we brought them food. And we were always disappointed when they escaped from the cardboard box! :) I still don't like to kill snails!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10273632887177263449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8570308709067611215.post-66900954600711394292010-06-17T20:11:39.177-06:002010-06-17T20:11:39.177-06:00Rainforest Gardener, I'm so glad you enjoyed m...Rainforest Gardener, I'm so glad you enjoyed my snails and that they brought back happy memories for you, too!<br />Autumn Belle, it is a great solution as long as you keep at it. <br /><br />Liza, thanks for the Ew. :) <br /><br />threedogsinagarden, Cute, but they will eat those Hostas down to the ground.

I am glad that we do not have too many snails in the desert, but my son would probably love to collect some if he had the chance :-)Noelle Johnson https://www.blogger.com/profile/12198931083102476324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8570308709067611215.post-53174135133551160182010-06-16T13:39:31.895-06:002010-06-16T13:39:31.895-06:00I know I have slugs in my garden that like to put ...I know I have slugs in my garden that like to put pin holes in my hostas. I have noticed a few snails, but was not sure if they were doing as much damage as the slugs. <br />Snails are kind of cute and I always figured something that cute can't be too bad...but now you have me worried. How fast was it that you say they multiply? Yikes!<br />Love the closeup showing the snail's eye!<br />Happy gardening!<br />JenniferAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8570308709067611215.post-74753475673368195202010-06-16T09:57:26.864-06:002010-06-16T09:57:26.864-06:00Ew.

I remember seeing that kind when I lived in germany as a kid, where locals would leave out beer to get them drunk... worked as well as salt but more entertaining I guess. I just recently did a post featuring a huge snail in my garden but I think he was an algae eater... it brought me back so I played with him for a while before letting him loose again. It was so cute!Steve Asbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00095474295719758914noreply@blogger.com
