First time treating Snails

[Romi]

Hats of to you for opening a new vista to us.So much caring for those tiny creatures..I really adore you.. Hope they will be fully cured in due course of time.They must be because they are damn fortunate to get such a passionate keeper like you, Isn't so?

It us good to see someone take so much effort for his pets. Snails especially do not get this kind of care, cheap or expensive!

I am surprized to read that nail polish is a 'water proofing' coat, are u sure of that? Seems unlike to me, since they often have a lot of acetone. But i guess u might have researched this.... do elaborate.

I also sugggest that next time u get a clear nail polish, i am sure that would have fewer chemicals, it is sold by all major nail polish brands. I use it to coat silver belt buckles that i like a lot and don't want to have to polish again and again.

Thanks Wojtek

Well there are many signs of snail shell damage, if its a hairline then its due to improper diet which can be rectified with a change in diet..

The more serious one which is due to mishandling are -
Throwing away the package with quite a jerk, due to that sudden movement their shells got damaged to a very serious extent!!!
Piece of decoration falling up on them.
Etc.
What I am taking is of made my 3rd party or you can say fracture kind of

Well Romi, first thanks for the nice words

Yes I am pretty sure of it and its been tested outside by some snail experts to many times, rather than POP I could have used egg shells but I have gone with POP. Even with sticking the egg shell they used nail polish.

Well I asked the retailer and told him what I will be using it for and he has given me this, and one more thing you have to use many coats of the nail polish to ensure its water proof!!!

the snails are truly battered
great going there, trying to revive them.
but was the repair of the shell a necessary?

on a lighter note: i am still trying to imagine, Abhishek standing in one of those glittery and glossy shops, wearing a pink shorts and asking for nail polish

Before few months, I saw some crabs on a big shop painted with nail polish and other colors. Now Abhishek colored snails. Wonderful idea for a colorful world in the aquarium.


Abhishek Ji, I like your way to save these poor but beautiful creatures.
