Snails love carrots. In fact, it was discovered recently by a mathematician from Princeton University that carrots attract them extremely quickly -- to the point that carrots also constitute an excellent way to control the numbers of snails in their aquariums. The best way to do it is to clip a couple of carrot strips to the edge of your aquarium, and remove them as soon as they get all full of snails.
