Snails???

20 years ago

Hi! I have been finding little snails in my yard, shell and all. Actually, a pile of empty shells and some filled with the live snail inside. Dog has been munching on them...thinks it's escargot.

Anyone else have this problem? Is it a problem? Will they eat/ destroy any plants?

Also, is this dangerous for my dog?

Thanks in advance! SugarMags

*The* SugarMagnolia? Where ya been, girl? Many of the folks you used to know are now on Davesgarden's southwest forum.

Now, about the snails - typically they only inhabit the cool, damp spots. I don't know that they cause any problems - probably not as much as the pillbugs and slugs that usually accompany them.

I wouldn't worry too much about Pups, either - if my girls can eat partially composted pigeon whole, I'd say snails are probably downright healthy....

Thank you for writing back! Yes...it's me. I've been busy and slacking off about the gardening. Plus, I had a baby and was pregnant, so too tired to garden.

Thanks for the info. about davesgarden. I think I'll post this over there.

Having a baby does *not* sound like slacking off to me! Congratulations!

Glad to see you around again.
