Our snails would die outside in the winter. they’re fussy little wot-nots when it comes to food, everything has to be prepared, then like cats, they go off that and want something else.
Spent ages crushing those eggs.

My half-arsed quest to find all the snail species in the UK has ticked up by one. I found several Cochlicella acuta in the boot of my car after leaving beach litter in there overnight. They're a sand dune species and quite small so it was a lucky find for me.
I also took a photo of a garden snail lit by my UV torch.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
I always wondered that @wild edges copied from google ” The reason why garden snails die when they come into contact with salt, but sea snails do not die in saltwater, has to do with the way their bodies regulate water and salt, a process known as osmoregulation.”

Well, they do @wild edges I have them in my garden. They live under the ground so no use lifting stones or objects to find them. And there are families of them grouped together. Here are 2 - are they the same species as your beach stowaways?

Will you keep the little one? It’s like a mini version of ours.
