Fascinating Facts About Roman Snails and Wild Thyme
Roman snails are among the largest terrestrial snails in Europe and can live up to twenty years in protected environments. Wild thyme secretes aromatic oils that help reduce water loss in rocky soil, often attracting snails seeking shade beneath its woody stems. Old stone walls provide calcium-rich mortar that snails utilize to build and repair their thick shells.
