How ‘bout we make some money out of this deal and have an illegal immigrant species Olympics among the walking catfish, the African snails and the pythons?

Is this because of Global Warming? Or is it because of Sequestration?

I kicked one of these little bastards off my front porch three weeks ago.
Yesterday afternoon I get a knock on my door:
“Hey, what the hell was that about?”

Really? Ugh!

I for one welcome our new giant snail overloards and would remind them that an astute internet commenter would be a valuable asset in their quest for world domination.

Could someone please explain why the world’s supply of vermin, parasites, and incurable diseases always seem to originate from Africa?

I’m surprised that these things do well in South Florida, given the number of rats, possums, racoons, armidillos, and water birds. Are they poisonous?

As the article indicates, you shouldn't oughta eat these things, garlic butter or no garlic butter. There's plenty of stories of people eating these and getting deathly ill.

We had these little gems on Guam when I was stationed there in the late 70's. Running over them with the lawnmower was almost like running over big rocks. You had to do a sweep of the lawn before mowing to clear them all out.

The snails also carry a parasitic rat lungworm that can cause illness in humans, including a form of meningitis

You can have my share.
