Anyway, here's one of our many new neighbors that I met this morning. Thought I'd introduce you all

Thanks everybody.

Funny, I've lived in this town for a number of years now and have never seen a land snail that looked like the one above.

We're in the process of moving 5 minutes away (more inland) in the same town, and I'm seeing creatures I've never seen before (only in pictures, pet shops, etc... never in the "wild").
