0:03:51 > 0:03:54a mistake and you carry on it won't be as good.

0:03:54 > 0:03:56I say some random things as a sound test.

0:03:56 > 0:03:59I record five of each thing.

0:03:59 > 0:04:04Then I go through them and pick the best two and disqualify the one

0:04:04 > 0:04:06that's not the greatest.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08Wow, what a day!

0:04:24 > 0:04:26who was looking for love.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28He was finding hard to find a mate because the spiral

0:04:28 > 0:04:31on his shell coils to the left, rather than to the right,

0:04:31 > 0:04:33like most other snails.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35Well, against the odds, two leftie snails were found

0:04:35 > 0:04:38as possible mates for Jeremy.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40But it wasn't meant to be.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43The other leftie snails mated with each other instead,

0:04:43 > 0:04:45and had 170 babies.
