That sounds like a good idea it will be interesting to hear what you find.

Try soggy porridge oats - when I went through my 'professor' stage as a child I used to go snail hunting and mark their shells and see where they ended up - they used to be attracted to the porridge oats, though as it is getting a bit colder I have noticed the snails in our garden aren't so active now. Happy hunting!

I generally find Garden snails (Heix aspera), White lipped snails (Cepaea hortensis) Brown Lipped snails (Capaea nemaralis) and small Cellar Snails (Oxychilus alliarius) on wall particular after rain fall or damp murky days.
One of my favourites since I was very young is (Cepaea hortensis) lovely coloured shells.
