We have a new pet at our house...Coco the snail. I figured that he would last about 24 hours, and that would be the end of it, but no~ it's been almost 2 weeks and he's still going strong.
Nate found him near a creek at a nature camp that he went to a few weeks ago. He thought it was just a shell, but once he got home, he realized that there was a living creature inside. We quickly made a makeshift habitat. Rocks, dirt, algae water, and fish food to eat. We were going to be heading out of town for our annual beach trip the next day, so we had to set it all up in a big tub with a lid.

Let me tell you, this is a real low maintenance pet. Except for when the lid is left off and he slides his way up the siding on the house. I've gotta say, he's one cool snail.
