So i often draw stars on snails with sharpies.
Never seen a snail with a Sharpie. 
Snails donât lose their shells as they age. Maybe your art is stretching out like a tattoo on an older person?
âyou can code shells by using colored enamel paints. For instance, a linear arrangement of four dots using five colors will allow you to mark 625 specimens differently. After the paint has dried, cover it with a cyanoacrylate adhesive or acrylic polymer for added protection and durability.â
Donât know if this helps.
Also, we use calcium carbonate (snail shells, essentially) to mark athletic fields. I donât know if thatâs Alanis morrisette irony or regular irony.
There are different formulations for permanent markers, including Sharpie pens. Some are considered nontoxic and safe for use on skin. Others contain toxic solvents that may cause organ damage from inhalation, ingestion, or skin absorption.
Sharpie Fine Point Markers are the safest pens to use on skin. Even with these pens, itâs a good idea to avoid writing on the lips or near the eyes.
King Size Sharpie, Magnum Sharpie, and Touch-Up Sharpie contain xylene, which is neurotoxic and may damage other organs. Xylene poses a risk via inhalation, ingestion, and absorption across skin and mucous membranes. Writing on skin with these markers isnât recommended.
Thereâs also different kinds of sharpies, toluene, alcohol, ethanol or isopropanol, ethylene glycol monobutyl, propanol, butanol, and diacetone. resin or polymer is added as a âbinderâ that promotes adhesion. Permchrome ink has the alcohol but not glycol ether.
Sharpie snails migrate to the Sharpie Snail Sanctuary (SSS) as shown on the map above. I wondered where all of the star snails came from.
Maybe something to do with snails secreting a layer of protein to protect their shells.
Yo @Foreigner.
You eat snails ?
I do if they have sufficient butter on them.
Got some snails in my tank. But they are there to help keep the tank clean. Unfortunately they are chinese mystery snails. They are good until they lay eggs and all of sudden a hundred gallon tank is overloaded. I was scooping out net fulls and theyâd be right back the next day.
Had to get some assassin snails to get rid of them.
I like em too. Garlic and butter is always a good option. I was just going threw threads I had made and was oh so curious if they are edible in the eyes of our food critique.
Conch fritters are banging too.
I think people are growing snail caviar. Sounds like you have a gold mine.
I once ate raw conch on the beach from a peddler.
Iâll pretty much eat anything except a few innards I donât enjoy.
I ate bugs recently too. Really not bad.
I gotta look into that.
fermented snail paste sounds so stinky that its probably great for your plants. Cause if organic ferts have learned me one thing. Its gotta be stinky.
