On my way home from the church I almost run over the Japanese snail (above photo). Was using my trike to achieve a dual purpose: to exercise and attend the church service.
Good thing I noticed it walking so slowly in the middle of the road.
I respect the creature's right to use the road and reach the vegetation on the roadside.
Do you have such kind of snail in your place?

I have never seen a snail like that here, but I do know turtles walk slow and they sometimes will be in the middle of the road when I drive by. I always try not to hit them. I know a lot of people also try not to hit them in their cars.

i've read about turtles crossing the road here at mylot and that you have to be careful if they're snapping turtles

I rarely see such snails; maybe people are trying to eradicate it because it is a voracious plant-eater.

@acelawrites They are a pest here too. My sister has them in her letter-box and they start eating the mail if she doesn't get there first.

It was nice of you not to crush it. I'm not sure I would even NOTICE a snail in the road. We have snails here but I don't think I've actually SEEN one since I was a child.

Maybe it is common in tropical countries like here.

@hereandthere yes, you won't worry riding it because it has three wheels.

At times one can not do but get rid of them because they are voracious plant eaters.

I don't see a photo of a snail, it's instead a statue of the Mother Mary.

I uploaded it from my cellphone and made the error of placing another image . I can't recognize which image was that. So now I edited it and there it is now.

@kobesbuddy it's alright, don't worry, I was in a hurry to upload and didn't know what image was on the file.

@acelawrites I had seen it now. I think this is most common in the countryside. I used to see this in my granny's house in Pangasinan.

I have not seen a snail like that but I am trying to improve my walking because I feel like an old granny when I walk at times.
