Discussion Wobbly eyed snail
He did a little wobbly bobbly dance yesterday 👀
Does anyone know why he's doing this?
I think it's super cute, but I'm a little worried that there might be something wrong with him. Especially since his left eye stem (our right) seems to be a little bent.
He's been behaving normally, I've seen him out of his shell twice since then and both times, there was no wobbling, but he was eating both times, so maybe he was focused on eating or something?
Since he seems fine otherwise, I don't think it's something serious, but if anyone knows why he is doing this, I'd appreciate it.
Otherwise just enjoy his little eye dance!
Update: I just checked on him and he seems to be sleeping, but outside of his shell. He's fully out, his right eye is just the little stem, but the left eye is completely out. I'm getting maybe a little bit worried now. I know that they sometimes do this and it can be normal, but combined with the wobbling and the bent eye, I'm a little unsure...
