Red on hammer?

[r98]

Hi guys,

Does anyone know what this may be?
There seams to be 2 red masses and one small red mass on my hammer.
I’ve had the hammer a month and the first 2 weeks everything was okay, but the last 2 weeks it just hasn’t opened fully, I’d say it’s opened about 70% max.

I was wondering if these red things could be the problem??

looks maybe like a vermitid snail hard to see in the picture

Cheers bud, will try and got more pic today, it was quite late when I noticed it last night!

Quick google and they do look like these… ***

How would I go about removing?

Another angle

Not sure if this helps your cause, I tried to remove the noise and make it more defined by messing with the exposure in photoshop.

If it is a vermetid snail, it most definitely needs to be removed. You can try using bone cutters, but you need to get it at the base of the snail because that is where the snail lives. I have also heard of people closing off their exit holes with super glue.

I bought myself a good pair of tweezers for crushing vermetids. You could also take the frag out and scrape them off. Good luck.

Crush it quickly to the base. Super glue doesn't kill them they just dig a new hole.
