Hi folks Well it's competition time again , as I said before this month we are going to have two to celebrate Linda's birthday hehe. Anyway the winner of this competition will get to pick their prize and the winner of the next competition (which will start on the 21st which is Linda's B'day) gets whats left. Okay below is a pic of the prizes. Prize #1 : Two Cuddly He & She Snails Prize #2 : A lovely glass snail (not a tiny one either) Now the competition. Below you will find a picture of Humbug our biggest and oldest Brig Snail , what we want you to do is guess his weight in grams. You all get one chance each day and obviously the first person to guess it wins , Humbug is the biggest Brig I have ever owned so he is quite big. Also for peeps who may not be used to grams here's a quick comparison. a 1 pence piece weights 3.5g a bag of sugar weighs 1000g There are 28g in an ounce. Okay then folks , lets start this one rolling .. oh yeah there is no part grams involved i.e 3.5g ... only whole grams .. his weight will be rounded up to the nearest gram. Good Luck Folks. P.S : Everyone can have a go , don't be scared lol.

Wow great to see people having a go , well so far no winner but I'm going to give a smidgen of help. Somebody over the last few days has come very near to bagging the prize , so near that I'm surprised they couldn't feel the weight of Humbug in their hand lol.
Oh and to answer his colour question , he started off as a wild striped but as he grew the cream stripes seemed to display some kind of green pigmentation and some of his brown stripes are actually kind of burgandy ... odd snail but we love him .. big daft old beggar.
Anyway keep the guessing up , I'm sure someone will get it.
Cheers
