Giant African land snail apparently. They can live up to ten years!

Up to 90% of attempted courtships are rejected and do not end in copulation.

Apparently they're an invasive species who eats voraciously and destroys crops and native flora. Also applies to rabbits I suppose, so I can understand OPs confusion.

Feed her pieces of sheet rock! They need the minerals, especially when in the US, where they are not native.

You ever wonder what that would feel like as it traveled across your naked body?

I would give it a shot. The worst part of snail slime tho is it reacts with water and gets more gooey and hard to wash off

The second most unpleasant thing would be if it wanted to decide if you were food or not. You can feel regular sized snails tasting your skin; I can't imagine how strong a giant snail's radula would feel

Oh now that's interesting... Trying to wash off super slick snail slime in the shower. You'd almost want to hit a water slide instead. Zip!

Not as sick as you're about to be from rat lung worm.

forget the rabbit, those hands could play 3 octaves on the piano, and don't tell me it's just perspective, the arm is down
