Munch a Bunch With Mat

[sandrateager]

Mat is such a pretty snail! =)

Excellent video! *****

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@sandrateager Thank you Sandra ... I hope that *pretty* compliment doesn't go to Mat's shell =oD

[sandrateager]

@RockyBDemilleFan Hehe...Good one! 

Always welcome my dear friend! =)

[Suzan4B]

LOOK at Matt's "mouth" it's a sucker mouth,for Algae on Acrylic digestif!!!!!!

This is the best yet of matt!! His dining conversation is remarkable as is his need to "make room" LOL!!!! That was the best ever!!!!!!

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@Suzan4B Who knew a snail could have so much *range*? =oO

[Suzan4B]

@RockyBDemilleFan  I am so enjoying Matt!! This is a really fun and refreshing format! Aquatics!!(love our felines) But"this" is exciting! Soon I will be putting up an aquarium vid I took at a dear frond's house.(30 Gallon tank) I thought of Jambi when I was filming!!!! I have Matt's back!!! cu Monday!!

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@Suzan4B Palm frond? =o}

Love you Suz ... lookin' forward to your aquarium video ... I hope to be spending most of MY Sunday trying to make my Cat-A-Pole video [that's what I was starting when I saw the footage of Mat and Jambi and I changed course ... pun intended!] =oD

[Suzan4B]

@RockyBDemilleFan Hi on Monday! I am excited to see which direction all ur vids take!!! Jambi and Matt are an excellent juncture! I never knew a snail could have such clout!!! I hope my fish are as packed with personality!!!

[jasperjayde]

This is a good video of MatTheSpeedySnail! Love the appearance by Jambi as well! :-)

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@jasperjayde Jambi is NOT camera shy that's for sure! =o)

[RobotHandCatFace]

Wow look at his little mouth!

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@RobotHandCatFace Mat is endlessly fascinating! =o)

[Furballfables]

Oh boy we can't wait to see you play with the Catapole!! Ginger the cat didn't care for it! C'est La Vie! xoxo

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@Furballfables I was fascinated with Ginger's disdain, er I mean response ... Sherpa feels the same way [must be an age thing] =o/

[Furballfables]

@RockyBDemilleFan All the boys here love the Catapole, Fairy likes to watch! And the Furballs are still young. But they all like different toys too, Buddha and Yogi LOVE laser, Merlin, Boxes, Elfie pipecleaners and fairy just likes to run wild through the house now that she is feeling better! What kind of canon did you get by the way?

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@Furballfables Canon HR20 ... in RED! [a hot commodity let me tell you] ... best of all it was FREE with my Amazon reward points! =oD

[Furballfables]

We wish Santa had brought us a goldfish! WE love Mat and Jambi! What was that food? Love seeing PeeWee peeking in the backround! xoxox Hugs to our Playhouse pals, The furballs!

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@Furballfables You don't wanna KNOW what that food was! =oO

Hugs back to YOU ... we hope to have the Cat-A-Pole video as our next project! =o)

[robert4301]

Don't underestimate Mat, I still think he's an alien! See how Jambi is obviously in his power. Next will be you or maybe one of the cats! At the rate Mat is going, he (or his descendents) will take over the Pacific northwest in less than 2,000,000,000 years! He must be stopped before it's too late.

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@robert4301 They don't call him MatTheSpeedySnail for nuthin' donchaknow! =oD

[beekalmer]

I love Matt. Fantastic closeups. I want to see Matt eliminate with the camerashot below him, I need a better understanding of how it all works.

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@beekalmer Unfortunately the Canon is NOT waterproof like the Kodak is so your wish may be difficult [not to mention expensive!] to fulfill =o/

[beekalmer]

@RockyBDemilleFan Details,details, sigh. But you did get a fabulous shot of his belly so just keep filming from that angle until his next poop.

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@beekalmer I'll get right on that =oD

[MattheCrazyScientist]

Yes, i get it now. In fact plz keep it that way :)

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@MattheCrazyScientist DEAL! =oD

[KCKILLERCAT]

Oh they are just fascinating creatures aren't they ? My Golden loved romaine lettuce ( sans anchovies ) after he ate ALL the plants . If you ever get tired of that camera .. I can give it a good home . ( oh and Mat too !) O<

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@KCKILLERCAT You're on the list! =o)

[MattheCrazyScientist]

Come to think of it i was kinda hungry when i was watching this awesome video! Anyways, isnt his name technically Matt? Since he was named after me my name is matt so hes mat?

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@MattheCrazyScientist I was going by the way your screen name is spelled [Mat The Crazy Scientist] ... I hadn't read it as Matt He Crazy Scientist ... so that's why it's Mat with one *t* ... plus it's more unique that way. I hope I was clear in the explanation =o)

[ImTheDaveman]

Thumbs up for Snail Poop! YAAAY! hee-hee. What do snails eat? Is Matt eating microbial schtuff off the plant or eating the plant? Hence a vegetarian? or hence a Microbetarian? I never seen a snail like that before. I never paid that close attention till now. OH OKAY! He eats Algae - got it. :-)

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@ImTheDaveman You can also feed them bit of cucumber and I'm sure there are other things as well, but he seems to be thriving so why mess with a good thing? =oD

[celinne700]

So Mat has a weakness for sushi with salad - for a moment I feared he might be thinking about some raw fish sushi ...but to Jambi's relief, he changed his mind and decided on the veggie platter. Dude really dines in fine, old school style; he savours the flavours with such panache. I see he left his big 'tip' before enjoying his meal rather than afterwards. A little unorthodox perhaps but most interesting.

Very professional quality video; it looks more like film work than video footage.

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@celinne700 Mat finds he receives preferential treatment if he tips big BEFORE being seated.I do love my new Canon video camera! =o)

[ibsunnysha]

What a wonderful dining experience...complete with recycling (or providing protein for the plants...take your pick! ) I knew snails love to "nibble" on the algae, but Mat seems to be over doing it..Ya gotta watch that acrylic addiction! He is stunning in pink...and most fascinating to watch. Am kinda glad Pee Wee won't be hogging the fish bowl shots now that you have your new camera!!

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@ibsunnysha It *IS* nice to have a camera that focuses on what I'm focused on! Mat chows down with gusto ... he's grown quite a lot since I brought him home. =o)

[kareemchannel]

Beautiful video :)

Have a nice day ^_^

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@kareemchannel Thank you ... a nice day to you as well =o)

[jennifergwaine]

I can't take my eyes off his cute mouth! I've never studied a snail so closely before. Oh, and I can see why he poops so much - eating all that high fiber salad...

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@jennifergwaine I'd be rolling in dough if there was a market for snail *do* =oD

[ashleypurrs]

'Be free salad greens'!! Hahhaha!!! :D Love it!! It's pretty amazing watching Mat.. I've never seen a snail underwater this close up before.. I also find it to be relaxing watching him!! Towards the end, it almost looks like he is sticking his tongue out lol.

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@ashleypurrs My new camera does capture the detail really well [the old one just wanted to focus on the Pee Wee doll in the background] Mat is endlessly entertaining, who knew? =o)

[childrensbooks4u]

Mat you are so cuddly, must be all this algae on acrylic.

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@childrensbooks4u Cuddly, huh? That's a new one =oD

[AveryMilieu]

Love Matt! Great shots of him eating. Algae on Acrylic?

Nom!

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@AveryMilieu It's quite the taste sensation [according to Mat anyway] =o)

[Spiderbuster71]

Great !!

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@Spiderbuster71 Thanks! =o)

[mskard2]

I always assumed they had mouths somewhere. Creepy to look at, though.

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@mskard2 Yes indeedy! =oD

[DrNworb]

Love the tasty salad interlude!

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@DrNworb Mat just needs to stay away from the creamy type dressings as they tend to cloud up the tank =o/

[DrNworb]

@RockyBDemilleFan I guess croutons are out too, eh?

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@DrNworb Yeah ... it's pretty difficult to maintain that satisfying crunch factor =o)

[TheTheCatshow89]

Great

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@TheTheCatshow89 Thanks! =o)

[ImaVeggie]

Way cool to be able to see how his mouth works. Great video!

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@ImaVeggie He really is amazing to watch ... I've never had a more animated snail [and he really is very fast] =o)

[silverpoint16]

Wow some incredble detail on Mat. You could see eveything. I am concerned about the tendency you have to show all the pooping. I'm beginning to think this video should be age restricted otherwise we'll have everyone pooping in public.

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@silverpoint16 Aw c'mon ... EVERYBODY poops ... it's just that we don't all live in transparent homes! =oD

[MichaelinSF]

That's one handsome snail. He likes to poop alot, huh? lol

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@MichaelinSF Evidently there is nothing wrong with his digestive tract [a healthy snail is a happy snail!] =o)

[callas5]

Mat, Mat, when I look closely I see that the Christmas Dinners left some love handles. I'm sorry, but no deserts! ;)

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@callas5 Ooooooooh Ingrid ... sorry girl, it's too late! He's already cleaned up all of the Algae on Acrylic ... he's just more cuddly with a bit of *extra* =oD

[CirSam]

One R, only you could make a snail this captivating..entertained throughout by both of you.

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@CirSam Why thankyouverymuch Matt ... gotta give that other snail wrangler, ThomDrock, a run for his money! =o)

[thomdrock]

Lol, another great adventure of Mat!

But it all went so fast!

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@thomdrock Yes ... I'm sorry, it does go by fast [I was trying to keep you viewers on your toes!] =o)

[superantonella63]

Hahaha, so funny! Thumbs up.... ^-^

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@superantonella63 That snail sure keeps busy! Hope your New Year is off to a great start [pets to Lucky and Penny] =o)
