Posted my full bookshelf of fiction last time (not like anyone will know or remember) so here's my lit journal/philosophy/non-fiction shelf, and some American lit that gets displaced from my main shelf when I introduce new books (I separate my fiction by region).

I was considering buying a larger bookshelf but decided to sell about 200 records to make room cuz books > lots of things > ipods\mp3s > more things >>>>> records.

Here's a tip, don't use penguin editions of philosophical texts. In fact, don't use penguin at all if there is a proper oxford or Norton critical edition available.

African snails. They've been hibernating since January and they're most likely dead at this point. There's no point in checking as every time I've picked them up they have came out of hibernation, only to have went back into it after a day or so. It's a shame as they're a lot of fun when active.

They only hibernate if their environment is too dry, sounds like you're not tending to their needs well enough.

Personally I find them boring anyway. I have Madagascar hissing cockroaches and Argentinian cockroaches, I like them better than slimy snails and they don't need any special care unlike those snails which need to have their terra kept moist and sprayed with water every day.

If you're too lazy to take care of them just donate them to a pet shop or whatever, they don't deserve to be mistreated and forced into hibernation.

[Anonymous No.6736335]

>>6736228
Nope, it's only since I left them that the environment has been dry. I watered/sprayed them every day and through the winter they had a heat mat to the point that I felt the soil was too wet. Fed them well enough, cuttle fish, got them a good size tank. I only got them a year ago with my now recently ex-gf as a quirky thing so I wouldn't be too heart broken if they were no longer alive.

snails a shit compared to slug
1- Slug is so much light than snail who have shell to copy slug technology.
2- The snail use the shell because is a fucking faget.
3- snail got crush so easy, and you can give the slug to ur dog chew and it ll still eat lettuce.
4- shell is MORE heavy than no shell.
5- some slug have internal shell because more evolved
6- Your cousin will not want to stay on your house to play slug.
7- If you trow the slug on the wall, the wall will go up.
8- Trow both on water and watch which will come up first.
over 9000- slug at mate will make a slimecord. The snail will show dribble.
10- All slug are hermaphrodite. Snail is too but because faget
11 - slug is the name of a bullet. Snail means it is slow.
12 - Slug will eat carrion, slug dont give a fuck
13- slug didn’t needed an upgrade. Slug is perfect

[Anonymous No.6736366]

>>6736335

Doesn't look wet enough. If the soil has dried up then a spray bottle won't do it, just pour some water there to properly soak the soil. And add some cucumber or other moist foods. And poke those bitches if you have to, I wanna see them up and going.

They hopefully they will stay active for a bit. I notice the generally less active of the two goes back into hibernation and without a partner to mate with, the other one shortly follows.
