Ducks get my vote too!! Then again I am biassed towards them as I bred
them for many years and had 10 different types.

A blue tongue lizard is also good for eating snails...plenty of empty
snail shells around here and nothing with snail damage.

If you decide to get a duck (or two, maybe three) make sure you get a
DUCK and not a Muscovy....they are NOT ducks, but geese and this is a
very common misunderstanding. Duck eggs take 28 days to hatch, and
goose eggs take 35 days.....Muscovies, because genetically they are a
goose, also take 35 days.

Hope this helps?
