I am too poor at the moment to buy them :). But i see at least twenty petit gris in my garden :). I'd probably want to purge the snails in my garden because they keep eating my ornamental plants (nothing poisonous, they keep eating the leaves of my canna, leaving holes). Someone mentioned oysters: Occasionally we get warnings here in Monterey about the shellfish, because there are poisonous algal blooms every so often, and since much of the shellfish are filter feeders, you can get ill. ____________________________________________ Communication is not just words.
