In Nebraska all we need to find snails is a 5 year old and a bucket. I've
got the five year old if any one has a bucket!
Of course I am only joking . . . I have plenty of buckets. I don't know
that I could find enough snails for a classroom project, but in the spring
they are easy to find - that is where the 5 year old comes in. Last spring
my son gathered up a good number just to gross out his mom and then wanted
to keep them, does anyone know if they will servive in a captive situation?
