A post dictated by Maddie

We are building a snail sanctuary to protect the snails from getting poisoned. It is in our side yard. We have some snails that are going to go into the snail sanctuary when it is finished. There are 40 of them. We're keeping them in a shoebox with some food outside, until the snail sanctuary is done. We're going to put copper around it to keep the snails in. It gives them a little bit of an electric shock but doesn't hurt them. We have a sign that says "Snail Sanctuary" on it. But we're going to put some slugs in it too. We have some snail eggs under a piece of bark that we put over a hole for the snails and slugs to go in. The snail eggs look likee little round, clear and kind of milky-white balls.

Cool, Maddie!
We'd love to see a picture of your snail sanctuary!
