Trick a snail? edit

The article could use some expansion on this subject, given that it appearted on the main page. What trick is used on snails? At the moment the article only notes that hermit crabs will occasionally attack snails for their shells, which is presumably true but does not mention any subterfuge.

I think it's just a play on words for the hook. For halloween, a little more leeway is allowed than would normally be permitted. SmartSE (talk) 16:38, 31 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
