Something that is amphibious spends part of its life as an aquatic creature and part of its life as a land creature. While there are both land and water snails, they are either one or the other and not both, so snails are not amphibious.

No they are not they are insects.

Yes, there are freshwater amphibious slugs: bug eating amphibious slugs that may be seen in UK ponds. In the water they are white and take on a worm/leech like appearance. they sometimes crawl out and breathe just as well in air, taking on a more classic slug appearance.

Latin name: Aitengidae incerta sedis. They are quite enigmatic.
