A snelm is a "snail helm" that can be made using the Crafting skill. Use a chisel on the shell of any snail found in Mort Myre swamp to make one. There are a variety of colours in round and pointed snelms. Snelms give protection against snails wandering around in Mort Myre.
All snelms reduce damage taken from Mort Myre snails, including giant snails during Temple Trekking. Some specific varieties of snelms are also used in Treasure Trails. They are rarely crafted otherwise due to their mediocre experience and inaccessibility. Although profitable to craft from shells, snelms have low trade volume and are hard to sell.
Areas for hunting snails are infested with ghasts - lethal to lower-level players, and with the ability to rot any food in the inventory. The area west of Mort'ton is free of ghasts, but takes longer to reach and does not contain Bruise Blamish Snail or Blood Blamish Snail, which are the only ones to drop the most valuable fat snail.
