I found a snail on my deck.... and I saved it !
I think?!:D

I have no idea because I've never even seen a snail but it had a pretty shell!! ;)

I heard what sounded like a rock hitting the wooden floor of my deck and I'm guessing a squirrel decided it wasn't edible and then I saw nothing but then I noticed something was attached to a white plastic trash container on the deck but then it crawled/slid up the rot iron and then I picked it up, two days later, and set it on a tree branch but it dropped 20 feet to the rocks underneath the red maple. Argh!!

Am I bad? :P

I tried.

lol

1. Last look from 20 ? FT above?
It still looked like a rock.. with white and brown swirls! :P

I'm guessing it's OK, I mean it's in the vegetation and the rocks!

No squirrel would dare try that again! Would it?! :shrug:

:P

2. Yay, you killed it
There's more efficient ways of killing them, but throwing them down 20ft is a good way. Hell, any way you kill them is good.

3. I was trying to relocate it !! LOL
I haven't checked since the sun set to check on its welfare.

I'm thinking it survived and anyway I'll know in the morning,

if it's moved on since dropping... that I didn't kill it. :P
