7 Reasons Why I Like Mystery Snails (and 3 Reasons Why I Don't)

When it comes to snails, I’ve always avoided them because of how easily they can breed out of control. But many of you think snails are God’s gift to mankind, so when I saw some mystery snails (Pomacea bridgesii) at Petco, I decided to get 1 to see what the hype was all about. Here’s my honest review and whether or not I think they’re worth it.
