Holy Sexually Active Snails, Batman

So, in Wisconsin, some Giant African Snails were found in some classrooms. I mean, these things are big. And according to the story, three of these babies turned in 18,000 in about three years. Yeah, they like to reproduce and eat. This explains why the government is so worried by the snails. Not only do they reproduce like a mother fucker, but they eat a lot and carry meningitis. Additionally, they can live anywhere in the US and not die. As a side note, according to this New Zealand quarantine page, the kid who brought them here in 1966 didn't actually bring three live snails, he brought their shells, which had eggs in them. Speaking of New Zealand and quarantine's, New Zealand doesn't let anything in for good reason. It's right next to Australia, the home of the most deadly creatures in the world.
