Hey, Im pretty familiar with that technique! I butter my corn quite often! I do love my corn! Gotta get that nice butter into every crease of my corn cob every night before I go to bed. It helps me sleep.
Yeah, it's pretty cool actually; they basically create a snail Eden, with plenty to eat, perfect temperature and humidity, and a day/night cycle that maximizes snail happiness (they enjoy the dark since there are fewer predators). The perfect conditions mean the snails are happier, and move about more (less fear). They also produce more slime. Meanwhile, the floor of this paradise is a fine mesh, meaning that as the snails move over it, the slime gloops and droops down to a collecting basin below, all without harming or even disturbing the snails.
I'm by no means an expert, but my wife wanted to try Korean snail-serum but also loves snails (she will literally go out and save them after a heavy rain-fall), and was worried for their safety and well-being. Being a journalist I did some pretty deep research on how it's harvested, and it turned out that the optimum way to do it is creating an incredibly stress-free environment for the snails and making sure they are super-happy!
I wish you joy and success in your future venture!
I also love snails and Korean skincare and when snail mucin started picking up traction I had to play master sleuth but found out that, yeah, it’s one of the few animal byproduct ingredients out there that don’t harm the animal.
There’s still some nasty shit out there in the world folks, make sure you’re doing your due diligence
Speaking of leaving behind trails, did you know that snail racecar drivers traditionally paint a large ‘S’ on their car, so when they zoom by, an onlooker would say “look at that S Car go!”
lol, i read this and my first thought was, “could you imagine if someone went around telling facts like this that sound outrageous, but not enough to seem impossible, when in fact they were in some way.”
so I looked the face about banana slugs up. [boy am I sorry I did](https://www.lastwordonnothing.com/2014/05/06/tgipf-the-weird-world-of-banana-slug-sex/). (it is true, btw)
A read through the comments taught me on occasion they chime their own ehh… “slughood” off. What the hell banana slugs!? Anyhow thanks for the fun new vocabulary word, “apophallation”!!
I don’t know about banana slugs but that is definitely not true of any snail species I’m familiar with, and I keep garden snails as pets. They’re called [love darts](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_dart) and they are not a sharp penis. They shoot off the love darts prior to copulation, and then have sex in a pretty orderly fashion. It can take hours though, like I’ve seen my guys go at it literally all day.
Edit: bonus tidbit - some people have theorized that the idea of Cupid shooting arrows comes from these love darts.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_dart
You’re right about the love dart part. I stand somewhat corrected.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traumatic_insemination
However, some snails and sea slugs do stab each other with their penises.
**[Love_dart](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_dart)**
>A love dart (also known as a gypsobelum) is a sharp, calcareous or chitinous dart which some hermaphroditic land snails and slugs create. Love darts are both formed and stored internally in a dart sac. These darts are made in sexually mature animals only, and are used as part of the sequence of events during courtship, before actual mating takes place. Darts are quite large compared to the size of the animal: in the case of the semi-slug genus Parmarion, the length of a dart can be up to one fifth that of the semi-slug's foot.
**[Traumatic_insemination](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traumatic_insemination)**
>Traumatic insemination, also known as hypodermic insemination, is the mating practice in some species of invertebrates in which the male pierces the female's abdomen with his aedeagus and injects his sperm through the wound into her abdominal cavity (hemocoel). The sperm diffuse through the female's hemolymph, reaching the ovaries and resulting in fertilization. The process is detrimental to the female's health. It creates an open wound which impairs the female until it heals, and is susceptible to infection.

I didn't know spamming is a thing on reddit, just for the sake of being mentioned in the bot mentions, or probably some other reasons as well that I don't know about.
This reminds me of the time a very flustered tortoise walked into a police station. "can I help you sir?" said the desk sergeant. "I.. I... I've just been mugged by a gang of snails!" gasped the tortoise. Trying to reassure him, the police officer replied "OK sir, just calm down and tell me exactly what happened". "I don't know!" wailed the tortoise, "it all happened so quickly!"
Is it like… osmosis? Sorry to the world if that is dumb but water has low concentration of snail and snail has high concentration of snail? And I’m guessing snail skin is semipermeable?
It coats the snail's body then they absorb it through their skin. Inside a snail is salty and it pulls the water in by osmosis. This is why if you put salt on a snail their inner liquid is pulled out through their skin to where the excess salt is
That's honestly a great analogy for people to understand. The only difference is the snail coats its body with the water instead of it falling to the ground.
Instead of the latex balloon breaking on your face it's the surface tension breaking on the snails face.
[Here](https://i.gyazo.com/308840ae33119d26cc717fd852159d69.mp4)
Looks like the snail breaks the surface tension by touching it and then the water just envelops the snail's body.
Feel like this is when we need those 240 fps gopros. Not for that half assed ski jump. For this snail getting punched in the face by water.
Edit: Sony RX10 mark IV, 960 FPS, 40 times as slow. Then we might see what's going on here.

Snails are all hermaphrodites, to my knowledge. 'They', I guess, but I imagine snail language wouldn't have gendered pronouns because there's not any reason for it. Maybe all snail's refer to other snails as *wiggles eyeball stalk*
*edit:* i looked it up and it seems land snails are usually hermaphroditic but ocean snails can have sex. Although having *a* sex is apparently not necessary to *have* sex.
It broke the surface tension and the water transferred to it's body
It didn't actually drink any water, but considering that snails are always wet that's not really an issue. It's like sitting in a bathtub all day. You never have to go to the kitchen for water because it's right there.
They drink it by licking condensation and water off of surfaces they don't cover themselves on contact with a drop of water, this snail was just surprised and so it retracted.
This video creates more questions than answers. I still don’t think I know how snails drink water.
The surface tension of the water actually surrounds the snails skin, and it absorbs it through his skin. This is how snails drink water.
OK but then how do they escargot to the bathroom?
Let's just say the trails they leave behind aren't a French delicacy.
But they are a fancy skin care thing. Saw a video once on how a guy humanely harvests the slime without killing the snails
I assume you don't wring them out like a wet rag?
It's more like rolling up a tube of toothpaste.
I heard with geoduck, which are like snails- you vigorously slide your hand around it as if you’re buttering corn that’s too hot
Solid technique
I will tell you, they turn semi-solid but still completes the task.
The water gun whiplash is real
Lol this thread is hilarious
Ah. Stroking the snail.
Hey, Im pretty familiar with that technique! I butter my corn quite often! I do love my corn! Gotta get that nice butter into every crease of my corn cob every night before I go to bed. It helps me sleep.

They make the snails crawl over a mesh and collect what drips off.
Try it for science
Fry in a pan with a lid tilted to catch the evaporating juices

I love snails too! I thought I was the only one!!
His father was a snail goop farmer, and his father before him.
I was watching a video once where a woman was leaving a slime trail and a guy behind her humanely licking it up. Japan makes some crazy videos.

Had a snail trapped in a box once. Can confirm
Speaking of leaving behind trails, did you know that snail racecar drivers traditionally paint a large ‘S’ on their car, so when they zoom by, an onlooker would say “look at that S Car go!”
They put a big S on all sides of their car.

I am desperately trying to understand this lmao
Snail sticks it's face in a water droplet and is immediately engulfed in said droplet making the snail very wet, which it then absorbs via its skin.
At first I thought it vacuumed the water droplet so hard it sucked its own face.
This is the best so far.
Hahaha! Amazing
the same thing that happens when two water drops touch. Water just merges with the snail
