What do you do when two snails have a fight?

Leave them to slug it out!

Interesting Fact: Most snails have thousands of microscopic tooth-like structures located on a ribbon-like tongue called a radula. The radula works like a file, ripping food into small pieces. Many snails are herbivorous, eating plants or rasping algae from surfaces with their radulae, though a few land species and many marine species are omnivores or predatory carnivores.Β  ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snail#Overview )

    Great photo! I like the sparkly trail that snails leave on the sidewalk, showing where they’ve traveled to.

    Great image. My sister used to have giant African land snails as pets. They would regularly escape from the tank in our shared bedroom and slime all over my pillow.

    I love your photography! I’m an enthusiast, however I’m very new. I took a photo of a sulphur crested cockatoo last week, which I quite liked, however I’m sure its amateurish in comparsion to your work!! Keep it up, Cheers Nicole

For my point of you if you took a picture and you love it, that proves that it is amazing photo because remember you are your own worst critic. So share your work with the world and show them what you got. Thank you again for stopping by and checking out my work. Happy Blogging! πŸ™‚
