Re: Mucotypes
Mark,
I believe the function of the snail's exudate is to absorb water
(from the atmosphere)
to reduce desiccation. I would imagine that one could go out into the
cabbage patch
and "scrape" up whatever trails you can find from their nocturnal
meanderings.
After a few miles of 'scrapings', one might be able to add to
distilled water to provide
for a 'mixture' that might be suitable for applying to a suitable
paper support.

Cool,
Now can you imagine coating a nice big piece of Cot 320 with snail
slime? How do you train the little guys to slide around on your
paper and get an even coat..... do you have them go in a
rectangular pattern from the center out or the outside in? What if
one stops and rests for a while...will that increase dMax on that
spot?
I have to go look for my snail training manual....
