Okay, so this morning I was walking to take the trash out, and as I'm walking, I see a snail in the middle of the walkway, right where pepper was, same exact situation!!!

I didn't want to keep it because snails are hermaphrodites and I didn't want snail babies so I carefully picked it up and put it on a rock near the grass so he wouldn't get stepped on if someone was taking the trash out like me :/

Good luck in the world my snail!! I hope you have a great life!!!
