This is bush snail (Fruticicola fruticum) definitely one of the cutest snails in existence. It can be found only in Europe and it prefers warm mountains with as little pollution as possible. The shell color varies from this brown, to pinkish orange, to green, to yellow, but it’s almost always decorated with these dark blotches in adults. The snail itself is usually yellow or whitish.
This adorable little cutie pie is actually biting me on the second picture. And she thinks that I’m rather tasty because her eyes are droopy and she’s face down munching on my skin. Snails are actually omnivorous and they rarely miss the opportunity to eat some tasty meat (in this case me). The feeling is extremely hard to describe, you literally have to get munched on by a snail to understand it. It’s actually kinda sweet, because when they eat they take their cutest pose and you know that you didn’t disturb them at all, since snails don’t bite in response to danger, they only bite to eat. So by eating me, it tells me that it feels super safe in my hand which makes my heart melt.
(Another possibility is that she thinks that I’m another snail and she’s ready to mate. Snails are very very kinky and they loooove biting each other while they mate. And they also stab each other with love darts, but that’s a whole different can of worms).
