Better than dog's anyway, although dog's do taste quite nice. But then again snail's are supposed to be tasty aswell... |

congratulations on getting your new pet where did you get him from | ||||||

It's a good idea for a pet. I presume it'd be pretty low-maintenance, and there's not much danger of it running away.

At least if it does run away, there's no danger of breaking into a sweat trying to catch it.

Dog meat's too stringy and tough- only good for stewing. My ex- wife's uncle cooked it for me a few times, using garlic, herbs, soy sauce, rice wine and star anise. Quite nice, but I prefer chicken!

Snails are hermaphodites and capable of breeding with themselves if no partner available. | ||||||

Not really , most species are hermaphodites but some snails are sex diffrentiated . I have Anentome Helena snails in my freshwater to eat other plant destructive snails. You need more than one to breed with that species. |

I suppose it can happen that even though it takes two to breed, they both go away pregnant!
