ToddR January 23, 2013 Share January 23, 2013 Very cool Jan, It looks like more than one snail per case. Must be thousands of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Hind January 23, 2013 Share January 23, 2013 That's pretty wild. Each sac looks to have several snails in it already. I bet there are some fat seagulls on that beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Origami January 23, 2013 Share January 23, 2013 So now I'm wondering, just how big is mama snail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zygote2k January 24, 2013 Share January 24, 2013 So now I'm wondering, just how big is mama snail? probably hand sized or smaller. I'll bet it builds a mucous bubble and deposits eggs inside which can then travel long distances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
