Never seen this before ?

Yesterday I found these "chewed marks" on my Van Burren. I know that crotons can get "the new scale", white flies and thrips. These are sucking insects. It was my impression that chewing insects avoid crotons.

Looking at the chew patterns, I would guess this was done by a snail. Has anyone had a situation with snails dining on their crotons. Not any other leaf on the plant or the adjacent crotons had any "chew marks".

Seems kind of bizarre?

Both Lubbers and Snails eat Crotons and just because it's cold, don't think that Lubbers are gone. I've killed two in the past week.
