Blue-tongue lizards and ducks! The expression on the face of a bluey
as he
munches up a big fat snail is something that has to be beheld!

Holy Mackeral... I hope I dont come "back" as a blue tongue lizard...
ugh!
Thats put me back on my diet!!!

Haven't you ever eaten snails? They're *lovely* with garlic butter and
parsley
(er - on the plate, not in the garden...) Bad for the diet, but *so*
tasty!

Burp!

I've put snail bait out in the garden with an icecream container over the
top of
it. You cut holes in the i/c to make little 'doors' for the snails to
enter.
They eat the bait and supposedly pass away 'indoors' as it were. This
helps to
stop pets from eating the snail bait, but somehow I think the poisoned
snails
would attract the native lizards for a feed and then be deadly to them!
The
powdered bait is better from the pets' point of view because it's easier
to
strew about in snail-sized doses than the pelletted form. It's still
deadly to
lizards, though.

*Surely* there's some means to capture snails without using poisons? I
mean,
they've put men on the moon, so you'd think they could manage snails by
now.
Wouldn't you???
