People burst into enthusiasm, so little do they know about nature.

And I'll write an article now. About real snails. Facts.

@NatureMC I fell for this one, too.

Will you explain how a snail can heal their house, when it is damaged within a few days, if they are placed in a humid container with nettles (rich in calzium) to eat? I tried that one and it really works.

@sibylle

I would say the same way we can heal our bones.

@sibylle @lichtscheu My article has the title "Snails Or Slop Slime". I won't expose this person here who perhaps just believed it, but the real stealing and faking pseudoinfluencers.
And I'll try to explain a little bit about snails.
Yes, snails can do repairs with calcium: https://academic.oup.com/icb/article-abstract/24/4/857/116430?redirectedFrom=PDF
They even don't need to eat it, they take it also by soil contact, e.g. on calcium rich soil and stones. It's just slower, if they have to search themselves ...

@NatureMC @purplepadma We don’t really see them here, but I’ve been places where they’re apparently invasive and they’re unwanted in gardens.

@NatureMC I'm following just so I don't miss your article. We have lots of snails, a sign of a healthy garden, I hope.

@lichtscheu I intended to say: if you write an article about snails, will you include how you can help a snail heal their shell, if it is cracked. I didn't mean the internal processes. Afaik they have some glands to do the job, but I'm not sure. It is not done by cell division quite certainly.

@markc568 There's a big difference between snails (with shells) and slugs (the naked ones), and even between species. Most snails are important for soil health and so for your garden.
I'm just writing about it in my article (see "but my garden"): https://steady.page/en/naturematchcuts/posts/28951404-a41f-4215-ab89-bc35dbc41233

@purplepadma

@NatureMC @markc568 @purplepadma
it depends on if you want a sterile garden or a rich habitat. slugs and snails can be crop pests, especially juveniles, but they're also tasty food for frogs, toads, birds and mammals and break down dead organic matter.

@sibylle I'm so sorry but the article was already long enough: https://steady.page/en/naturematchcuts/posts/28951404-a41f-4215-ab89-bc35dbc41233

So I didn't write about their methods of repairing but if you have questions, you can ask me here!

@lichtscheu

@floppyplopper I see clearly that you comment an article that you didn't read yet. 🤫 @markc568 @purplepadma

@NatureMC @markc568 @purplepadma
guilty, guilty, guilty! ‍️

@floppyplopper You wouldn't believe how good schadenfreude can feel just now! (It's never to late to read).

looking forward to some quality snail facts
