The rainy season came a little too late this year and as such, we are just witnessing the first peak of the rain in the month of September; something we should have witnessed in June. The climate change is really biting hard this time.

So the land snail usually hibernate during the dry season and become active in rainy seasons. It is quite normal to see them crawling around vegetation during the peak rainy period. I was lucky to stumble on one today and I took pictures using my Samsung Tab A 2016.
