Snail Racing 2013!


 Share

Recommended Posts

Snail racing is a form of humorous entertainment that involves the racing of two or more air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs. Usually the common garden snail species Helix aspersa is used. This species is native to Europe, but has been accidentally introduced to many countries all over the world.

There are numerous snail racing events that take place in different places around the world, though the majority take place in the United Kingdom.

Snail races usually take place on a circular track with the snails starting in the middle and racing to the perimeter. The track usually takes the form of a damp cloth atop a table.[1] The radius is traditionally set at 13 or 14 inches. Racing numbers are painted on the shells or small stickers or tags are placed on them to distinguish each competitor.

I did this so much with my cousins when I was young.

My snail got 2 years old... then he vanished somehow.

 

I was sure the jar was closed...
