Is it possible to have a garden snail as a pet?

Oh yes, it is quite possible! In fact, I am taking care of them currently right now! I think they are pets for beginners, and are quite easy to take care of. If you are in a family that cannot really take care of any big pets like cats and dogs and stuff (just like me) I suggest that you take care of garden snails. They're even free! Go out on a rainy day and collect them from merely your front or back yard! Just feed them green leafy vegetables like lettuce or carrots. You can interact with garden snails a lot too, if you can tolerate their harmless slime (just remember to wash your hands after). If they get used to being captive and you touching them, they soon won't even shrink into their shells when you touch them and will crawl all over you! I suggest that you take care of garden snails as pets, and it is VERY possible to have garden snails as pets in the first place.
