I have a snail named Herbert. He is a Mystery Snail and I love him dearly. I didn't think Id form such an attachment to a snail, but here we are. Every day when i get home from work, I put my hand on the glass of his tank and talk to Herbert. Just talking about my day or whatever. He doesn't seem to mind and generally hangs out on the glass around my hand. I know Herbert probly doesn't even know im there most of the time but it doesn't mater. Talking to him helps me and I will continue to do it... At least until i get some more snails/shrimp/fish, then they will have to endure my talks as well. Muahahahhaha
