Such Long

antennas in snails are generaly a sign of parasitic worm infection. The long, fat antennas capture the attention of birds, who eat them, and in turn are infected.

Very interesting

That is really interesting. The antennas had a very characteristic mouvement of the green coloured rings in them from down to up so that I thought the snail came from "exterritorial regions". The comparison with antennas is, in this context, very evident. Thank you very much for posting and voting!!
