I’ve also never seen snails look so beautiful.

2. This is too sweet. I inherited some antique thimbles from my granny. I have to try this in them.

5. if you put a little damp sphagnum moss in the bottom of the thimble and then a bit of soil I think these could stay healthy and happy for a while. probably just need to mist with distilled water often.
