The outside of my house is being painted tomorrow, and the windows and doors will be open most of the day whilst the frames are painted. I'm a bit worried that the fumes will be harmful to my snails, what do you reckon? The only room with no windows is the downstairs cloakroom, but that has an air vent leading into the garage, so I'm sure the fumes would still manage to filter in. Not sure what to do...  Thanks for any advice! |

Hi this may be a bit too late looking at when your house is being painted! Not absolutely sure about snails but I have fish and I know it is recommended you cover the tank and turn off any air pumps whilst there are paint fumes around. Maybe just cover the snail houses and any air holes - they should have enough air in their boxes to last a while although if the painting is outside and the windows are open you may find it is well enough ventilated in the room anyway for the fumes to become too strong.
