Rescued this cute little guy before he got trodden on/run over 🥰

@Fluffybull.. no that's not too big but it seems to me that I saw someone maybe on Instagram that had a pet snail for their kids and this thing was really large.
I don't remember where the snail came from because it's been some time ago but I thought it had come from the UK somewhere.

@Elisbch Some people keep giant African snails as pets. They're really big. I knew someone who had one but he had to wash his hands after holding it coz they can carry salmonella bacteria.

@Fluffybull ....

That's it!... that's what they were called. I had forgotten. Thank you! 🤗

Yes, I think I remember this woman saying that they had to wash their hands after handling it. She had pictures of it and I was amazed how large that thing was. I didn't know a snail could get that big 😳..LOL. There are quite a few reptiles that carry salmonella in their saliva. Iguanas and some other lizards as well. I had an iguana many decades ago when I was younger for quite a few years. She was really nice to have.
I would imagine with a snail the salmonella would be in the skin pores or in the epidermis somehow and secrets it but I don't know that for fact.
