That's his fault for not retracting his head before pooping! This poor guy doesn't have the option:

As a snail pet owner I confirm that the little fuckers shit on their face all the time. They are unbothered by it apparently.

They also shit a lot. Like really a lot. Much more than you think for such a little creature.

How do snails even reproduce?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

They have long mating rituals. Once they are aroused genitals come out of their face/neck and couple together.

Then they stay like that for hours, like many hours, you cannot separate them because their genitals are so deep inside their body that you'll may kill them.

After that they part ways like nothing.

Source: I have pet snails and have watched them having sex several times. To my defense I also let them watch when I have sex.
