Yes. Snails must live in areas of high humidity (or in the case of some species, completely underwater) in order to prevent themselves from drying out. Unlike humans, the surface of a snails skin is actually living and water and solutes are able to be absorbed across this membrane. That is why when salt is poured on a snail or slug, it shrivels up. The salt causes water to diffuse out of the slug, making it smaller.
