I had never heard of island Apple snails before this weekend. So I wanted to get the word out..
For the past week some of our outside cats we care for keep vomiting and not wanting to eat and for the life of me I couldn't figure out why. Until yesterday I was at the bayou side and saw pink gum looking stuff all along the water line and the biggest snails I have ever seen. Turns out here in the southern states we are being invaded by island Apple snails. their eggs are pink and have a powerful neurotoxin that makes any animals that eats them very sick and can kill them.
So please be on the lookout. If you found any of this eggs make should your animals can't get them.
