How's this for a scary pic. I took of a snail as it crawled up the outside of the window. It looks as though he's got a fair set of teeth so it's no wonder they do so much damage!

Definitely looks like an alien - dont like the look of those teeth at all - think you should call Sigourney Weaver in to deal with it!¬!!Life may not be the party we hoped for but since we're here we might as well dance

Shame they are not its teeth! They actually have 1,000s of tiny ones like files to grind up leaves. Look here for really scary info. www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/.../rhsnail.htmlComment

Snails have a rasp like structure called a radula thatis moved up and down rasping off small particles as it moves along. This radula is like a ribbon of teeth. SoldierfireComment

I don't care what he was using to eat my plants with ( personally I think they get out knives & forks, tablecloths & seasonings the way they treat my garden like a restaurant!
), I still thought it was a bit scary looking at his underside so close up.I do quite like snails though, just wish they weren't so destructive.

Great pic SueA (as always from you) You like snails do you? You mean in white wine with garlic and some crusty bread ?

Snails aren't my cup of tea Alice ( or my piece of cake either!). I remember going to Belgium with my school when I was 10 & the teachers ordered snails & one offered me a bite, it was disgusting, like chewing burnt garlicky rubber! Perhaps that's why I'm 'almost veggie' now (still like a nice piece of salmon
).
