Garden snails, the most common type, are herbivores. Some snails, like the wolf snails, will eat other snails, so they are carnivores.

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.
Snails can be quite a pest for a garden, and gardeners usually don't like them (though in my opinion I think they're cute, or maybe that's because I take care of them right now.). This is because garden snails usually eat holes into plants, especially vegetable gardens, like lettuce. So I should say that snails DO harm a garden.
To effectively manage small snails in your garden, you can try methods like handpicking them, creating barriers with copper tape or crushed eggshells, using natural predators like ducks or nematodes, and applying organic repellents like diatomaceous earth or garlic spray. Regularly inspecting your garden and removing any hiding spots for snails can also help control their presence.
In Florida, you can buy garden snails at local garden centers, pet stores, or specialty shops that sell exotic pets. Additionally, online retailers like Amazon or specialty websites dedicated to snails and gastropods may offer them for purchase. Some farmers' markets might also have vendors selling live snails. Always ensure to check local regulations regarding the purchase and keeping of snails, as some species may be restricted.
sand, like salt, would dry them out.
yes I have 2 snails and I put them in a thunderstorm and they liked it.
1st answer added as a related link. I used to keep apple snails in my aquarium, they are about as big as a large garden snail, only their shell is bright yellow.
