A Slow Passion : Snails, My Garden and Me
When BBC Radio 4's Material World programme announced a search for the UK's top amateur scientist, little did anyone expect that the winning experiment would comprise one of our humblest garden pests.Ruth Brooks posed this question: Do snails have a homing instinct?The nation was gripped by the unexpected thesis and by Ruth's online diaries, which catalogued her trials and tribulations as she got to grips with these slimy little gastropods. A Slow Passion is Ruth's story, with anecdotes and misadventures galore.What starts out as a ruthless vendetta against the snails that are decimating her hostas becomes a journey of discovery into the whys and wherefores of snail life.When Ruth dumps a group of the worst offending snails in a far-off wood, she decides to paint their shells with nail varnish, just to see what happens. And guess what, they come back home. This is the beginning of an obsession that sees the grandmother-turned-scientist prowling about and pouncing on the snails in her garden, sneaking off on night-time missions to repatriate bucketloads of painted snails, reading up on the sex-life of snails (which turns out to be unexpectedly romantic) and, eventually, sending off the application to a national competition for home science. With charming illustrations, A Slow Passion is a sweet, funny and surprising investigation into the hidden life of snails, which will change the way you look at the smaller (and slower) things in life.

Do naked snails eat other naked snails?
Naked snails do not typically eat other naked snails. They are herbivorous creatures that primarily feed on plant matter such as leaves, fruits, and vegetables. While they may occasionally come into contact with other snails, their natural diet does not include consuming other snails. However, in certain situations where food is scarce, or if they are kept in crowded or stressful conditions, they may exhibit cannibalistic behavior.
-
Do predatory snails also eat larger snails?
Yes, predatory snails are known to eat larger snails. They are opportunistic feeders and will consume a variety of prey, including larger snails if given the chance. Predatory snails use their radula, a specialized feeding organ, to rasp and consume the soft tissues of their prey, including larger snails. This behavior helps regulate the population of snails in their environment.
-
Do fire snails also eat larger snails?
Yes, fire snails are known to be carnivorous and will eat other snails, including larger ones. They are opportunistic feeders and will consume a variety of prey, including snails, worms, and insects. Fire snails use their radula, a tongue-like organ with tiny teeth, to scrape and consume the soft tissues of their prey. Therefore, larger snails are not safe from being eaten by fire snails.
-
Can garden snails smell African giant snails?
Yes, garden snails can smell African giant snails. Snails have a well-developed sense of smell, using their tentacles to detect chemical cues in their environment. When a garden snail encounters the scent of an African giant snail, it can recognize and respond to the presence of the other snail species. This ability to detect and respond to the scent of other snails can be important for finding mates, avoiding predators, and locating food sources.

Are my snails already dead?
To determine if your snails are dead, you can gently touch their foot or shell to see if they retract or move. If they do not respond to touch or show any signs of movement, they may be dead. Additionally, you can observe their body for any foul odor, discoloration, or unusual texture, which could indicate that they have died. It's important to regularly monitor your snails' behavior and appearance to ensure their well-being.

Clea Helena snails are known as assassin snails because they primarily feed on other snails. They are particularly effective at controlling populations of pest snails in aquariums. However, they may not eat all types of snails, as their diet tends to focus on smaller snail species. Additionally, they may not be able to consume larger or more defensive snail species.
-
Can snails regenerate?
Yes, snails have the ability to regenerate certain parts of their bodies. If a snail loses a tentacle or part of its shell, it can regrow these body parts over time. This regenerative ability helps snails recover from injuries and adapt to their environment. However, the extent of regeneration varies among different species of snails.
-
Can snails burp?
No, snails cannot burp. Snails do not have the ability to burp like humans or other animals with a digestive system that produces gas. Instead, snails release excess gas through their skin or by expelling it as bubbles in the water.
