For these snails, or for the uppity-up, escargot, Walter’s wisdom appears to hold true.
This poor snail had enough of the bumping, over-crowding and shoving his neighbors had subjected to.

So, what would you do in his place?
Move, I suspect and move he DID.
As you look at the picture, you see he’s coming out of his shell (pun intended).
Whether he’s happy now, I can only hope so.
Enjoy!!
