Very cute. It looks as if it's measuring itself!

I think I was guilty of doing the measuring, Judy. It didn't run away while I was getting the tape measure :-)

Lovely little snail. I’m confused by the units on the measuring tape though, it seems to indicate 3ft! Obviously I am missing something; what scales are on that tape?

Ha ha!! Not really!1 inch = 2.54cms....

The black scales - imperial top, metric below are correct, although slightly distorted by angle of the image. The small red 3ft and 1m just indicate the length of the ruler.
My apologies Gerry!I had not seen the red 1m - 3ft..... I am so sorry!
Ok. Good to know we’re not being invaded by mutant snails….yet!Do we know the gender of this guy?I guess it has a name, but if not, how about Swirley Bassey, Percy Byce Shelley, Jimmy Snail, Snailor Swift etc. etc.
