“No way am I going to murder this snail.”
A 23-year-old in Willis found a milk snail hitching a ride on a jade plant at her sister’s succulent shop and decided to build an entire life around gastropods. She now keeps and sells over a hundred garden snails. Texas has more native snail species than any other state and most of them are in danger. The online pet snail community has ten thousand members on Facebook, which is the most wholesome corner of the internet you will find today. Sometimes the best stories are the ones where nobody is lying, cheating, or destroying anything.
