Snails eat by rasping at a surface with their specialized mouth-part called a Radula. It is possible for them to try to rasp at your hand if you're holding them; the feeling is similar to a cat licking you.

yes, otherwise they couldn't eat, but if you mean can they bite people, You can feel a snails bite. But it can't do any damage due to the lack of jaw strength.

no well a little it feels like a brush scraping across your hand it wont hurt a lot because they have a weak jaw strength so don't be afraid also I know this isn't the question but if your snail starts blowing bubbles you might wanna stay away it could bite you if you pick it up during this process its doing for protection because they are both deaf and blind so that is why they are doing it! thanks for reading this long answer but its gonna help xx bye

Are apple snails edible?

No, apple snails are not poison if they bite you, the reason is because they cannot bite. They have a rough raspy tongue called a radula and they use that to scrape up and eat algae or plants depending on the type of apple snail. They cannot bite you. Several species are eating by humans especially in Asia but research has shown that the eggs are very poisonous. A type of cone snail in the south pacific is very poisonous, it can sting and kill you in short time.
