[zacknaerithfair]

how can they be left or right handed if they gots no hands?  

[Angry Kitsune]

The handedness refers to the direction of the opening of their shells. If it bulges to the right, then the snail is said to be left-handed, and vice versa. Put you hand into a fist with the thumb sticking straight out at the top. The thumb represents the spire or tip of the shell, and your knuckles and fingers represent the opening. 3nodding
