Gary says, "Perfect! It looks just like me!" Well, we won't tell him that your baby will be MUCH cuter than he could ever dream of being.

Halloween is a day when you can't predict the weather. It might be super chilly or still a little warm outside. The baby snail costume gives you plenty of room to add layers of clothes for your baby to up the warmth factor.

But remember - babies can be unpredictable, so if he squirms and wants out, it'll be nice to have an extra layer of clothes beneath.

This costume also won't get in the way when he tries to crawl or walk around. It's snug enough to help him navigate the floor but loose enough that he won't get stuffy and feel miserable.

This is a genderless costume, so if you're looking for unique or one of a kind baby Halloween costumes, the baby snail costume is a perfect choice!

Some parents prefer to get costumes specific to their child's gender, like a princess or a cowboy. But the baby snail costume is so cute, you won't care!

Everyone will oooh and awww over your child's cuteness and no one will care if it's a unisex Halloween costume.

Plus, since Halloween only comes once a year, this is an outfit you can resell on eBay or pass down to other kids - and it won't matter if it's a boy or girl baby Halloween costume!

First year Halloween costumes are special, and you'll probably tuck it away in a box as a special keepsake.

Let your child know that you went to great lengths to make sure he was one of a kind, to match his own unique personality.

It means a lot to kids to know that you focused on them (especially for the years they can't remember themselves).

The baby snail costume represents an animal unlike any other. So let me share some things about the snail!

As you can see from the image on the right, a real snail is nothing like the colorful Halloween costume you see to the left, except for the general shape and eye placement.

Why should you love the snail? Well first, he's very versatile. He can live almost anywhere - deserts, marshes, woods, mountains, and plush gardens. They love to be near humans, too.

Some snails are large, while others are small. Some are water lovers while others stay on dry land. Some are herbivores while others like a little meat with their meal. A snail with no shell is known as a slug.

Some snails have a lung, and others have gills. They glide along on a little foot made of muscle. It's lubricated with mucus to help them get around. They're very slow, hence the reference to "snail mail."

They can go into their shells and protect themselves, but some snails still get added into incense products because their shells emit a good scent when burned. Their shells are mostly made of calcium, so they eat a lot of food with calcium in it to help build strong shells.

The biggest snail is a 40-pound species (YIKES - that's like a small child!), which is found in Australia! Some snails have two sets of tentacles called eye stalks, since the eyeballs are on the tip of the tentacles. They can be retracted, too!

Some hibernate during the winter and if they're enduring a drought, they just seal their shell shut with a layer of mucus. Land snails are hermaphrodites - they reproduce all by themselves. Most water snails are either one sex or the other.
