Snail shells Developing holes!!!

Laura and Jim will be hosting the May meeting this Saturday the 12th and it will be the usual of food, drinks, raffle and fun.
 
Doors will be open at 6:00 pm for social talk and the meeting will start at 7:00.  Parking gets a little tight and the city says you can't park on 4th but there is a parking lot a block away.   Meeting is usually held in the backyard so feel free to bring your favorite lawn chair, weather permitting of course.

If you need address/directions, contact a club member.

Best if you park at Mini Mall (where the spaghetti establishment use to be)
 
You will get to see his new frag tank set up in the making.
 
Hope to see you there!

I found one big snail the other day with a hole in it as well...what could be causing it?

[Yellotang]

I think it is related to falling down and low calcium levels?!?

[Kylem]

My Calcium levels are on the high end so it is probably from falling down.
The snail repaired the hole.  You can see where is was and it has a shinny new patch.

 

[Yellotang]

That is too funny. Good!

Did they use fiberglass and then bondo over it?  What kind of clear coat did they use to get the shine on the shell?  

Sorry I am bored.
