Tag As FavoriteComment		This little guy is named Makigai, which is Japanese for 'spiral shell.' He is #2 in the Dragon Snail™ series, and is now living with my good friend Geneva. I decided she needed a new pet for her birthday. Dragon Snails™ are intelligent and mostly friendly... but don't ever mistreat them! They do have a vicious bite when provoked.

Polymer clay and real seashell.

Wow! It's great to see you are getting SO man props for this one! Well deserved, babe. Well deserved! For anyone interested, any new little guys will show up at http://www.EirewolfCreations.com/ as they are finished.

:-) Erin ´EireWolf´ Metcalf replies: "I guess I didn't need the shameless plug earlier, 'cuz you did it for me! ^__^ Thanks babe!"

I'm completely in love with this little guy! If I ever saw anything like this for sale I would gladly buy one.

:-) Erin ´EireWolf´ Metcalf replies: "Thanks very much! (And see my reply to Paige's comment to see how you will have a chance to buy one in the future!)"

You sure know how to position their little houses just right: I just hope it isn't too cold in the winter... : (
He looks like he is looking for you, Erin..! What does he eat? Great shape for his body...! I want to draw him. Can I draw him? Please please please!.... I want to draw you with him.

:-) Erin ´EireWolf´ Metcalf replies: "That would be fun to see. ^__^ Sure, you can draw him, as long as you give me credit for the original concept. As for what he eats -- his favorite food is escargot. ^__^"

That's awesome! He's so cool! I wonder if snails will ever mutate to look like that..that'd be so tight....Well the nerd that is me is going to attempt to figure that out, Gratz on the Mod's Choice!

:-) Erin ´EireWolf´ Metcalf replies: "Thank you, Lucas! Woah, that's weird... You commented exactly one year after my last comment on this piece, so I thought I must have missed yours when I answered the last one. 2 "

The description said they have a vicious little bite, don't they? Then you should make one with it's mouth open so we can see those little chompers of theirs!

:-) Erin ´EireWolf´ Metcalf replies: "You're right; I should! My last Dragon Snail had his tongue out, so I guess I'm going in stages. 1 That will be a fun one to do... maybe the whites of the eyes showing as it lunges to the attack, fangs bared... hehe"

This is very cute and totally innocuous - so why does it have a parental warning rating of 2?!?

What's going on with these warnings?

22 Erin ´EireWolf´ Metcalf replies: "You're right; that's extremely weird. There are 4 rating levels that I can set the picture to: #1 = General Audience (no violence or sex). #2 = Young (a little more normal). #3 = Teen (people with wounds, but no nudity per se). #4 = Mature (nudity, extremely violent, mature issues). I set this one to "Young," thinking that "Young" was even more innocuous than "General Audience." Lo and behold, Elfwood thinks it should be hidden from... young... eyes. @.@ I don't get it. Anyway, I've reset most of my pics to General Audience (except for the Dryad, which shows a bit of butt cheek). Thank you for telling me about this weird problem so I could fix it! "
