My Dad was convinced that the snails he lobs over the fence came back, He said there was one with some red paint on and he's lobbed it over the fence twice now and its come back each time.

 

To prove his point he picked up 20 and marked their shells with an ultra violet security pen. 3 days later and 16 are back!

your dad..yeah, your dad hon...

 

 

he needs to get a job.

:lol: or a hobby....

I didn't.

I guess they are like fishes which come back every year where they are born.

They must be "homing snails".;)

For once a useless experiment not carried out with public money!

That's because the government refused to shell out.;)

boooo :thumbsdown: :P

:dozey: :lol:

:rolleyes:

cool....

I thought you meant territorial as in this is my territory and no other snail can come here.

 

It makes sense, though... most creatures no matter what the size have what they consider to be home turf.

This thread is funny. Would read it again :D

I think the government should consider conducting a test about snails and if they are truly territorial around the world. I mean this could save lives and prevent wars. Ask your local politicians, together we can make a difference.
