How to pick up a snail humanely

#animalrescue

@IngridHbn 3.5: appreciate snail

@IngridHbn Thank you for sharing this. I used to do this sometimes as a child, if I decided a snail needed my "help" to move out of what I thought was a dangerous path!

@IngridHbn I kinda knew this, and great to get it confirmed

@IngridHbn This infographic is fantastic!!

I really appreciate the crystal-clear messaging in these diagrams; that left-side image ALONE communicates all the information the audience needs to recognize that *our natural instinct (to grab & lift immediately) is BAD!*️

Likewise, the right-side images lay out an easily interpreted memorable sequence of instructions. So good!!

@IngridHbn
I've learned that here about maybe a year ago. I'm still sad about all the snails I attempted to rescue from being crushed on roads that I picked up as shown on the left side of the image.

@IngridHbn I believe most are hermaphrodites, so.. them? Thanks for sharing!

@IngridHbn
This is really well communicated here, thank you for sharing it.

Although (because I am an atrocious pedant) most land snails aren't a him or a her... they're hermaphrodites!

@IngridHbn them*

@IngridHbn Your illustration (s)nails it – Thank You!

@2ndNatureDev @IngridHbn or "her+him"? bcause they are both.

@IngridHbn thanks a lot for sharing

@IngridHbn this will be useful for future snail-moving

@IngridHbn That looks much quicker! I used to put a leaf or something in front of them and see if they would crawl on, then shift them to a safe place. This would take a while!

@IngridHbn is this AI generated infographic?

@HauntedOwlbear @IngridHbn him and her, really. Or hir, em, them, etc.…

@IngridHbn I feel bad for all the snails I've picked up the wrong way! I think they generally retracted, but still...

@IngridHbn Just to jump on the snail sex bandwagon.
