why gamble when you can head over to hellsite genetics and hope and pray you get some kinda creature from gastropoda.
fun fact: did you know snails can only mate with other snails that have shells going in the same direction? its why almost all snails have the same direction shell, the chance of a mutated shell managing to find a snail with another mutated shell and mate with it is astronomically low
