Snail Hunting! UPDATE

As you may already know, after a rain shower Matthew and I will go for a walk and look for snails. I have already posted about this particular hobby, but unfortunately I was not able to post any photos of the gargantuan snails here because we lost all our photos when Matthew's tablet broke. Alas, I have an impressive snail for your viewing. Enjoy!
I am not sure, but we seem to find many snails near dead ones; possibly eating them. I am unfamilair with snails, but apparently there are some species that will eat dead ones, but in most cases snails will eat the shells of other dead snails as it is a high source of calcium. In this picture there was only one snail and what we believed to be an empty shell.
