Referring to Kathy's comment: not all species of land snail are edible. To know more about this matter, please check-out this link. Perfect macro however, Richie!
If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins!

It is macros like this that speak the facts about these creatures, not the slimy, mucky things that, to quote the Addams Family, are altogether ookey. The detail and colors in the shell, the tile-like surface of the skin, and the obvious eye-stalks are all fascinating to see up close and personal like this. A good eye to spot and capture this one, Richie. The only snails I am familiar with here are those that infest my aquarium, and I can guarantee you that they are a lot more slimy than yours. A fave for me!
