Hello!
Who are you?
I'm a garden snail.
I'm a gastropod.
Gastropods have soft bodies and no bones.
Where do you live?
Garden snails live in gardens and forests.
We like damp, dark places.
Do snails hide during the day?
We often hide under rocks or old logs.
Then we come out at night.
I love your shell!
Our shells protect us.
Garden snails can hide inside.
Your tentacles are cool.
Snails have two sets of tentacles.
Our eyes are on the top tentacles.
We smell with our bottom tentacles.
How fast can you move?
Garden snails move very, very slowly.
We leave slime trails wherever we go.
What do you eat?
Garden snails eat plants and old wood.
Our tongues have thousands of tiny teeth!
The sun is setting.
I'm going to find something to eat!
Good-bye, Garden Snail!
