When I talk about snail teeth it is indeed a “slow” news day, but I am knee deep in a secret project that I hope to announce next month which has been taking up lots of my non work time.
So who knew that snails had so many teeth. Over 1000. That can be one huge dentist bill. And just this year they knocked off spider silk (sorry Spiderman) as the now strongest known natural material.

I can’t wait to see what you’re working on.
Looks like your challenge is going well too. Excellent.
Have a fabulous day. 🙂
Thanks Sandee. I can’t wait either haha
Imagine the trips to the dentist!
Tooth extractions could be plentiful
That is a cool fact. I wonder how long it takes to brush that many teeth?
by the time you are done in the morning, it is time to brush for bed
You only drew your snail with 5 teeth. Must be a hillbilly snail.
haha I don’t have the patience for realism
Smile for the camera little guy! 😉
Don’t think it can get any bigger
I though they were all gums.
And you’d better not use the excuse that a snail ate your special project homework.
What about snail pooped on it?
I had no idea!
And that is what I am here for
My wife loves slugs and snails, they DO have teeth! They’ve bitten her before!
Hey blogs-for-learning – great idea IMHO
thanks for the info – never know this knowledge could prevent me from being bit in the ass by a snail.
The snail is attempting some biting humor.
Top secret project? I’m a conspiracy theorist so you’ve piqued my interest.
I have a UFO to sell you
Teeth??? Who woulda thunk it. No wonder they reap destruction in the veggie garden
And I just thought it was their SLIME!!
I though they just gummed the lettuce. They just seem too soft & squishy to have teeth.
Imagine how long it takes to brush!
