White shell tips!

[vicki]

My friends snails shell are white are the tips.... i've seen this quite often when looking at pictures but never known what it is? Is it something to be concerned about? My snails have all kept their colour from start to tip but my friend is fairly concerned about hers.

Any advice? xx

The coloured outer layer of the shell is fairly thin and can wear off over time. The tips of the shell are the oldest part, so they've had more wear than the newer bits.

It's nothing to worry about It doesn't affect the snail in any way.
