    Yea. Kinnda bored. So... What do you do with your dead snails?

    I let mine get eaten on the bottom of the tank, then when they are picked clean by the shrimp, I scoop the shells out, and let them sit in a hydrogen Peroxide solution for a week, then dry them in the oven, then another hydrogen peroxide bath. Another high heat bake, then let them cool. I either cover them in clear nail polish or let them soak in some food coloring first. Then I put them in a box and wait till I have enough. I promised my girl friend a necklace.
