Snails make their own shells.They make it with a muscle called the mantle.The mantle then releases liquid.When the liquid hardens it forms the shell.Later in the snails life the mantle releases more liquid and the shell becomes bigger.

So cute I know!
They make their own shell with a muscle called the Mantle; when the liquid in the mantle hardens, it forms the shell, and as the snail grows, more liquid is released for the shell to get bigger.
