Puffers and Snails

[Dave]

I was wandering........I heard that for a little treat you can chop up earthworm and feed it to my puffers. I havent tried this yet, it sounds a bit gory. Does anyone know whether its ok to throw in a garden snail? I know puffers like water snails but what about the ones in your (UK) Garden?

Harking back to distant childhood memories of my brother and I messing around in the garden - I seem to remember that if you put ordinary garden snails in water, they just fizz and ooze green goo. But, don't let me stop you!

When I was a child I used to put salt on them and watch them fizz away! Cruel I know. But I didn't know that would happn if you put them in water. Maybe I'll have to relive my childhood days and experiment.
