I found this chap on my balcony, I think it's a Banded Snail.

Marianne Marlow I've seen a few much smaller ones around, I think he's come up from 'Er Below's garden looking for a place to hibernate. I'd been weeding & trimming & left everything in a heap. Clearing it away he was in amongst an old sage plant I'd de-potted. I wonder how old he/she is. (DeeDee informed me that snails, slugs & the like are something - have both male & female sex organs.) I also get a lot of leopard slugs, opening my balcony door once last summer there was a huge one slithering down the glass at eye level. Freaked me out no end! It must have been 6" long, easily.

Yes, hermaphroditism, thanks. I never can remember technical words. Thanks for the link, wow, such a huge variety of shapes & colours! I'm thinking of making a winter hotel for hibernating Banded Snails...
