Kat_Rigel Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Stumbled across this article and just found it interesting. It talks about how snails could be used as income for some African farmers. Take that for your snail-hate, Dean! Lol jk http://nation.africa//favicon-16x16.png You can make good income by rearing snails, researcher says | Nation NATION.AFRICA Slime extracted from the snails is used to make skincare products such as body lotions and soaps. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kat_Rigel Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 I was kinda grossed out to see how much snail slime is used in beauty products. (But I'll refrain from my soapbox statement about the make-up industry being a big conspiracy.) 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starsman20 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 There are snails then there are snails. Love my mystery, nerite, and assasins. Pond snails not so much. Way too small to look pretty and way to many (hence the assasins) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
