is your a cin snail or dyrup snail

[martin]

never realised until recently why snails always seem to be fixed on the walls of villas here, it seems that they eat paint.

this is a quote from a snail farmers growers guide

"Snails may eat paint or attack walls of buildings seeking
calcium. They will also eat dirt. Helix aspersa requires at least 3%
to 4% calcium in the soil (or another source of calcium) for good
growth."

Isn't most of the paint some plasticky stuff?
Ours is limewash, that's cos the walls are mud.
