I have used the little ones in the shells (and leave the shells on) and the bigger ones without a shell. The ones without a shell leave a nast yellow slime on you that won't wash off... it is so gross. I don't mind slimey, but this stuff should be illegal!
I am thinking that these are the snails that Lou is talking about.
