No. The shell grows around the snail as the snail grows bigger, but the snail is fastened into its shell and cannot leave it.

Hermit crabs live in empty shells, and find a new, bigger shell as they grow.

No. A snail's shell grows with the snail, because it is attached to it, so it cannot move into other shells anyway.

Do mystery snails eat their young?

No, the eggs are layed above water and when the baby snails hatch they fall in. from there many baby snails will go into the parents shell for protection. or sometimes on top of the shell. I dont think the parent snails even notice the little ones. often they will push them out of they way to get where they're going, but I've never seen one eat it's young. sources: I breed snails

Do garden snails sleep?

I believe garden snails do sleep. Not like I know it from experience, but I find that my garden snails often go into their shells and stay like that for a while. Though I predict this behaviour is done to prevent themselves from drying up, I believe that they should be having a nice rest inside their shell, too.


How do you know if a snails likes another snail?

When preparing to mate, snails often go through what may be described as a mating ritual which can involve playful biting and rearing up to one another. One of the most distinct examples of this is Helix pomatia, which rear up as if they are fighting and act as though they are kissing. This can go on for a number of hours. More often than not it is one stimulated snail trying to get another interested and it is not uncommon to see one snail wandering around with its penis hanging out of the genital aperture looking for another snail who is interested in mating.
