The curious affair of the reader snails in Saint-Lô
In the quiet town of Saint-Lô (Manche), residents had the surprise of their lives when they discovered that snails had taken up residence in their mailbox. These little gastropods, usually so discreet, embarked on an unexpected tasting of letters and documents. “ It’s incredible, they even got a check! » exclaims David Deshayes, president of the Office of Associative Life.

How did these snails achieve their goal? The mailbox, shared by several associations and located in an old school, was not completely waterproof. Despite its replacement, these smart guys have found other ways to infiltrate, thwarting all obstacles.
Several regions affected
Saint-Lô is not an isolated case. Other regions of France, such as Bordeaux, have reported similar stories. Social networks are full of anecdotes regarding these snails who seem to have a weakness for paper.
To prevent your mail from ending up as a snail’s buffet, a careful inspection of your mailbox is necessary. Make sure it is airtight and leak-proof, unless you want to contribute to the unusual diet of these creatures.
