Snail heart beat

[picklepies]

This may be interesting to someone I took a video of my iredalei Sirius with light behind him, and managed to get a video of his heart beat.

This was easy enough with Sirius as he has a very thin, pale, shell, but if you want to check sturdier snails just shine a small light behind them, I've heard that red works best

It beats at a similar rate to a human heart!

What's even crazier is the fact that they have open circulatory systems.🤓
