Is there a way to permanently mark a GAL shell which is safe for the snail?

Question

I have 9 GALS. I can't tell them apart and I want to give them names!

Is there a way I could dot each shell with paint or a marker without the fear that it would seep through the shell and hurt my GALS? Has anybody done this successfully?

Answer 1

ummm are they watr snails if not just try a sharpie its only there shelll as long as its not there skin

Answer 2

None-toxic paint (like for kids rooms) is what my friend used on his tortoise. It kept going missing so he painted his house number and postcode on its shell!!! The vet said none-toxic emulsion was fine. He has to keep re-painting it about every 3-4 weeks though.
