#ineffable snails

Let me elaborate.

Jörgen is a White Jade I bought as a baby and grew myself. It's most likely because he's grown up being handled often, but Jörgen really likes people. Place your hand near him and he'll climb on. (He also enjoys eating, but that's Snailing 101)

Once I considered Jörgen big enough to get him a roommate, I found Alfonse at a local pet shop. He seems to be a regular Fulica, if somewhat dark. I placed them in a terrarium together and

Alfonse REALLY liked Jörgen. Immediately. He'd follow Jörgen everywhere and sit by his side constantly. And the feeling was clearly mutual. Not even a week later I found the first clutch.

(Alfonse doesn't mind being handled but is more shy towards it, and he sleeps/hibernates more often.)

Six months together now, going strong.
