It was around 2022? Or 2023? Maybe. Cannot remember. It was spring-summer and we were chilling in the woods and being fascinated by the wildlife.

(Photo was done two days prior to me finding out Hol Horse was pregnant in this https://www.reddit.com/r/snails/s/OjmEkAb4D8 post)

I'm not sure if it classifies as 'my snail', but I got this buddy from the walk and decided 'hey, what if I left it live in my garten instead?' So here he is. With bunch of others. And other on other plant. Snilling (snail chilling)

I had no idea Hol Horse was pregnant, I doubt he mated with others as I don't see other egg clutches?.. Maybe there will be some. Later. I dunno. Congratolonces?..

Up to this day I clearly remember how I found her underneath my mom's bed, panting heavily with her tongue sticking out. She was diagnosed with diabetes a month or so prior, and we did everything we could to help to improve her quality of life. Every day I woke up at 8 AM to feed her and to give her insulin shot, then the leftovers I gave to our other (young) cats. Then the same at 8 PM. The day I found her barely conscious I had an appointment and was simply getting ready for it, she was by herself in my mom's room just like the other day. She had a choice of where to stay and I wasn't forcing her to stay there, but I still feel guilty for not being there for her at the right moment. When I found her it was too late. She had to be euthanized the same day. I was crying so much I couldn't think at all, my head hurt and I was forced to go to bed because if I didn't I wouldn't have stopped crying at all. I feel guilty and very very very bad for her. I shouldn't have left her alone. I should've taken better care of her. If I was with her all the time I could've helped her and she would've been with us still, she could've had her 14th birthday even. I'm so sorry Nika for everything. We love you. I'm really sorry for everything. I wish I could do more than that. I miss you dearly, we all do. I hope to see your face again when the time comes.

If you hear closely you could be able to hear it munching audibly. I'm in tears 🥺

I hope the pictures are okay. I live in Germany, Baden-Württemberg. Found it (and other one but smaller, didn't want to disturb it) underneath a tree log surrounded by tall grass. Any ideas of what it could be?
