@johnjohnston@social.ds106.us I hope nobody jumps in with some actual rational reason for the dots because I prefer the thought of a happy snail that was just hopping and skipping for joy.

@CiaraNi@mastodon.green @johnjohnston@social.ds106.us : I'm glad to say it's actually hopping!
Or at least as much as a snail can hop.
They lift parts of their foot up off the ground so they use up less slime and moisture.
I've heard it called "loping gait", but I'm not a snailologist.
