and the story behind one snail in particular

以及其中一個蝸牛的背景故事

um, called Shrek.

他的名子是“史瑞克”

so, without further...

所以 讓我們立刻...

I'm so sorry, I can't...

我真的很抱歉,我無法....

I'm sorry, snails have faces and they just amuse me so much

我很抱歉,蝸牛是有臉的,而它們的臉是在是太有趣了

UGGGHHHHHH!!!! O.O

噁～～～O.O

因為我有一大堆精彩的影片即將發佈

and I'm super excited about them and I want to share them with you.

我非常興奮的想跟你們分享

My snails at the moment are having a bath.

我的蝸牛們正在泡澡

I know that it sounds weird, but you should soak your snails.

我知道這聽起來很奇怪,但是你應該要浸泡你的蝸牛們

And they are in a delectable Ex Mint Chocolate Chip....soft scoop....

而且他們在一盒...曾經是非常美味的薄荷巧克力碎片冰淇淋裡

something or other, which I did NOT devour all alone over the course

我希望我當初沒有獨吞掉這一整盒...當我

of like two movies in one day. ;]

一天內看了兩部電影的時候

I have someone peeking over the side here!

有人在這邊偷偷地往外看唷

He- ...OH! Ewww...you've got some grossness on your face!

嗨...喔! 噁~~~你有髒髒的東西在你的臉上

Come here...

來這邊...

UGH!

噁!!

Lovely! Just...grime on my fingers right there.

非常好... 就這樣沾在我的手指上

Eghhh xP

噁~~~~~

I'm wetting my hands because you should never really pick up a snail

我正在把我的手打濕 因為你不應該在拿蝸牛的時後

with dry hands. It can really damage their skin.

用你乾乾的手 這樣會傷害到它們的皮膚

TAAAH! DAAA!!!

塔~~~啦~~~

This is Shrek!

這個是“史瑞克”

Oh hello, is that you? I think you're a bit gorgeous aren't you?

喔!嗨~是你嗎? 我想你有點太美麗了 是不是?

I want to give you guys a really good close-up of Shrek.

我想要給你們大家仔細近看“史瑞克”

Hello! Is that you?

哈囉~! 那是你嗎?

I don't really want to keep Shrek on my hand too long even though my hand is wet

即使我的手是濕的 我還是不想拿著”史瑞克“太久

because it's just not good for them. So I'm going to try and support him onto

因為這對他們並不好 所以 我把它轉移到

something which is uh quite state-of-the-art.

一個還蠻時尚的東西上

I would like to introduce you to uh... my lettuce leaf over hee-hee-here.

我要向大家介紹....萵苣葉...哈哈哈

This looks like how you would receive some kind of trendy street food.

這看起來像你正拿著最新流行的街頭食品

Let's peel it open and... OH! It's escargot!

讓我們把葉子打開....哇!是個田螺!

On the go!

準備好“螺”

So this is Shrek. Look, I'm just going to put Shrek up to my face,

所以這個是“史瑞克” 你看,讓我把它放在我的臉旁邊

just so you can get a grasp of the scale of how big Shrek is.

這可以讓你了解到“史瑞克“有多大隻

Let- ..Egh! Oh my god, you're huge!

讓...痾! 我的天啊 你還真大

I have an urge to lick her shell but I'm not going to because

我實在很想要舔她的殼 但我不會這麼做

I don't really want to catch Meningitis.

因為我不想得到腦膜炎

This is Shrek, my huge female giant African land snail.

這是"史瑞克“ 我巨大的雌性非洲(陸棲)大蝸牛

I say female because she laid some eggs for me a couple of days ago

我說她是雌性 因為它前幾天下了一些蛋

but, in reality, snails can actually be male or female; they're hermaphrodites.

但實際上 蝸牛可以是雄性或雌性; 他們是雌雄同體

They can change... chop and change if they're going to be

他們可以轉換來轉換去成

male or female so...um, you know, just because she laid some eggs for me the other day

雄性或雌性 所以... 即使前幾天它下了幾顆蛋

doesn't mean that she's always been female.

也不代表它一直都是雌性的

I'm fairly certain that she was a male when she first came to me.

我還蠻肯定當他來到我這裡的時候他是雄性的

Is that you in the camera? Are you going to be a YouTube famous snail? I think you are.

那是你在相機裡嗎? 你即將成為Youtube最有名氣的蝸牛嗎? 我想你是喔

She's rasping on my finger!

她在搔刮著我的手指!

You see my fingers under there? She's licking it gently with her raspy tongue.

你看到我的手指在下面 她正用她刺刺的舌頭輕舔著我

AGGHH!

啊!!!

It doesn't hurt, it just feels really weird.

這不會痛 但感覺很奇怪

It's like a miniature cat tongue under there just like... stroking my fingertip.

就很像是個迷你貓舌頭在那邊... 摩擦我的手指頭

So gross, Shrek, seriously!

真噁心 史瑞克 真是的!

*giggle*

*傻笑*

Shrek has a really interesting backstory.

史瑞克有個很有趣的背景故事

Shrek is actually a rescue pet of mine because she was found, not by me,

史瑞克是我收留的動物之一 因為他被找到的時候(不是我找到的）

but she was found, abandoned, by a woman who was driving on the road.

她被拋棄在路邊 並被一個開車經過的女仕看到

I think it was somewhere down in Kent, which is the South of England.

我記得應該是在英格蘭南部一個叫肯特的地方

And this woman came across this crate and pulled over

而這位女士停下車來 往箱子的方向走去

because it was right in the middle of the road and she didn't want to like hit it

因為這個箱子被放在路中央 她並不想撞到這箱子

or anyone else to hit it because she was being really considerate.

她也非常好心不希望其他人撞到這個箱子

And she moved it, looked inside, and found a whole ton of baby snails.

當她移動這箱子時 往裡面一看 發現裡面有很多的蝸牛寶寶

Now, baby snails, I will show you one near the end of this video,

蝸牛寶寶! 我會在影片尾聲時給你們看看蝸牛寶寶

but they are so tiny, they can balance on the tip of my finger and

他們非常非常的小 可以在我的小指尖上待著

just disappear because they're so tiny.

幾乎看不到他們 因為他們真的很迷你

So she actually took them home and her and her husband raised them.

這位女仕把他們帶了回家 跟她的丈夫一起照顧起這些小蝸牛

They would give them baths and they would look after them.

他們給小蝸牛泡澡並照顧周到

And Shrek grew to be one of the largest.

而史瑞克長成了最大一隻蝸牛

Not THE largest, but one of the largest out of the clutch that she rescued.

不是世界上最大的 但是在這窩小蝸牛中最大隻的

And she just had so many of them and was getting on a little bit in age

而這位女士擁有太多蝸牛了 漸漸歲數也大了

and she just needed someone else to take over their care,

她需要有人幫忙照顧她的蝸牛們

so I said that I would take on a couple of snails, which I have done.

所以我告訴她 我願意帶走幾隻蝸牛

And Shrek actually doesn't just live at home with me now.

史瑞克現在不止跟我一起住在家裡

I have...had* a big vivarium which I used to use for Shrek but...

史瑞克曾經待在我的一個大型飼養箱中 但是....

Don't eat my finger!

別吃我的手指頭!

But I had to prioritize some other animals coming in.

但是我必須優先放置其他動物

And at my workplace, we've got the same size vivarium, so I just took her to my workplace.

而在我的工作場所有個一樣尺寸的飼養箱 所以我就把它帶去那邊了

Now the people who kept Shrek before me were super kind people,

史瑞克的前任飼主是非常好心的人

I can't thank them enough for what they did for Shrek and the other snails,

我無法感謝更多他們為史瑞克及其他寶寶蝸牛們所做的

but they didn't have quite the same knowledge that other people who are more experienced

但他們並沒有那些專家般的專業知識

with exotic animals have on how to care for snails and they kind of bred out of control

來去照顧外來種動物(野生動物) 而導致他們過度繁殖了

because these guys can lay hundreds of eggs at a time if the environment is right.

因為這些蝸牛在環境許可下 一次可產下好幾百顆蛋

These guys are actually a pest in their native land in Africa because they can actually strip drywall.

這些蝸牛在非洲是害蟲 他們會破壞牆壁

They are voracious eaters. They devour things in the right climate

他們是貪婪的食客 在氣候對的時候他們胃口特別大

and, unfortunately, there wasn't enough calcium slup....

而不幸的是前飼主沒有給他們足夠的鈣質補...

SLUPLAMENT??

補充品?

enough calcium supplement being put into their diet, so they started eating each other's shells.

沒有足夠的鈣質補充品在他們的飲食中 於是他們開始吃對方的殼

So all the smaller baby snails would climb on to Shrek and rasp away with their tongues.

所以所有的蝸牛寶寶會爬到史瑞克身上用舌頭舔掉她的殼

So let me see if I can show you. So all of this here, that should be nice and smooth.

我看能不能讓你看到.. 這邊 這塊應該要是光滑的

In fact, I'm going to show you what a healthy snail shell looks like.

事實上 讓我給你看看一個健康的蝸牛殼是什麼樣的

This is a healthier snail shell.

這個是比較健康的蝸牛殼

This here's Delilah and I actually raised Delilah from when she was absolutely tiny

這位是狄萊拉 我從她很小很小的時候開始照顧它的

Again, I don't know if Delilah is technically male or female, I mean she's actually both, really.

再次聲明 我不知道狄萊拉是雄性或雌性..我的意思是他是雌雄同體

You can see her shell is just far superior in every way as compared to Shrek's shell.

你可以看到她的殼跟史瑞克的比起來還要優美很多

And these two are related. Delilah is the offspring of Shrek

他們是有血緣關係的 狄萊拉是史瑞克的後代

and my deceased snail, who's up here. The shell anyway.

和我這個曾住在這個殼裡的...已故的蝸牛

This over here is a smaller baby. It's a little bit shy, so hiding.

這邊是個小蝸牛寶寶 它有點害羞 所以躲著呢

And then if we want to go SUPER crazy on tininess...

然後如果你想要看超級超級迷你的...

Do you see how tiny this little one is?? *GASP* You're too cute!!

你有沒有看到這個超級迷你蝸牛?? *抽氣* 你也太可愛了!!!

Now these, guys, if you were thinking of keeping them as pets, do bear in mind they do need high humidity.

如果你考慮飼養這些蝸牛 請記得他們需要高濕度的飼養環境

They do need to have a particular temperature, or you could lose them all. *snap* Just like that.

他們需要特定的溫度 否則你在彈指間就失去它們了

If you are going to keep them, I would recommend ONE snail. ONE!

如果你打算飼養他們 我建議你們養一隻蝸牛! 一隻就好!

Because you put TWO together, and you're keeping them right, the likelihood is that these guys will breed

因為如果你把兩隻養一起 而且你照顧得很好 他們會開始生小蝸牛

and when they start breeding, they don't really stop.

而且他們一開始生小蝸牛 他們實在是停不下來

Please be responsible. If you are interested in a snail, do your research, set them up properly.

請擁有責任心 如果你對蝸牛有興趣 請好好研究他們 好好的安置好他們

This is the underside of a snail. That's the underside of her foot.

這是蝸牛的下盤 這是蝸牛的腳底

HELLOOO!!!

哈囉!!!!

*background music*

*背景音樂*

So there you have it, that is my rescue snail Shrek and her babies.

所以你們認識了 我收留的蝸牛史瑞克以及她的寶寶們
