If you've made it this far in the description, remember to be safe when creature adventuring! Most wild animals can cause injury if harassed, and I do not recommend attempting to capture any creatures without purpose and practice. The reason that I interact with wildlife is to produce these educational videos, and I have years of zoology experience under my belt. Also, I always ask permission from a land owner before exploring on their property, and you should do the same.
Keep adventuring everywhere, and keep your adventures safe at all times!

I'm glad your still putting out content, you always find something interesting to show us. BTW I've been a subscriber since you had a video go viral on Reddit, your parents must be very proud.
Thanks so much for your kind words and continued support!
This channel deserves much more recognition and I really hope it gets it… I really appreciate the time and effort that you put into these videos (not to mention the knowledge you share) it’s all appreciated! 🐍 🦎 🐸 🐢
Thanks a bunch for your support, it's greatly appreciated!
I’ve been following your videos for a while now. I’m originally from NC but I have been living on Oahu for just over a year now for my graduate research and I’ve seen these guys all over, especially during the rainy season. My graduate advisor actually researches these invasive species here on island. Not a lot to be done to eradicate them at this point, and locals would not be happy with any sort of large scale pesticide use outside of the pineapple plantations in central Oahu. Awesome video!
That's awesome, so cool that you have the inside scoop into this situation!
We saw literally thousands of these snails in Ecuador, they have completely taken over the areas around Guayaquil. Still a very cool and impressive species, I would love to see them in their native range one day. Really solid information in this one, I did not realize that they were so casually introduced into Hawaii, nor did I know that they threw in rosy wolfsnails too. Why can’t people ever learn from their previous conservation mistakes? Great video as always!
Dang that's wild, I didn't realize how prevalent they are down there! Yeah I'd love to see an absolutely massive one back in their native range so I can really appreciate it. I know, right? It's like using fire put out a fire. Thanks for the feedback!
Very interesting and a Beautiful shell 🐚. Thanks for sharing Ben . Happy Holidays Ben . 🌲😉👍.
Thanks Walter, I do love their shells. Happy Holidays!
Another great video. Hope you have a safe and happy holidays Ben.
Thanks Steven, you too!
Honestly don’t really know how I came across ur channel but I acc enjoyed this video abt snails and it’s rlly clear to see how passionate you are which is refreshing for once. Brother jus keep goin and you’ll be sure to find success, your journey could be long and filled with self doubt but just know ur futures bright
Aww thanks so much for the encouraging words, glad you are enjoying my content!
I’ve not been able to guess where on earth your next video is gonna come from these days
Haha this is what happens when I procrastinate on editing for 6 months
@@TheWildReportOfficial I see the Smetlogik School of Uploading is paying off.
That’s how I like my content
Great video thank you!!!!
Glad you liked it!
💕🐌 I love snails. They look so zen
Yes, and also goofy
I guess the upside is they're pretty slow. Always a bummer when invasives are interesting and unique. "/ I'm guessing the next video is not going to be from Hawaii.
Yes that's true, if all invasive were boring I'd be much better at arguing against them haha. You are correct, next video is not Hawaii 😎
I've got a good sense of what could and should become successful, you and your videos have huge potential, as far as here, you just need more views and attention, but I could picture you getting pretty big. Personally I like it like this, but I could picture your vids having a bit of theme music and such through out here and there, I like this though.
Good luck
Thanks for the encouragement and the feedback on my content! I'll work on implementing more thematic elements in future videos :)
@@TheWildReportOfficial i wouldn't do anything too loud or crazy but you know how it is, seems like the big dogs always have a little bit of that. Like I said I personally like it more chill like yours but I'm a grump lol, I hate melodramatic stuff and over acting, so depends who your after.
Has Hawaii at least had some success at keeping their invasive species under control?
It depends on the invasive and the island. Some of the islands have had success removing invasive large mammals byu commodifying them, but it doesn't work everywhere.
I feed garden snails tomato’s
Second largest snail? Which one is the largest?🤔
The Australian trumpet, but it's a marine snail not a terrestrial snail!
Are these snails edible?
If so, crumbed and deep fried with a sweet chili dipping sauce.
Yum!
Hmm not sure but probably
