When you put salt on a snail magic fairies shrink the snail magically. They use wands and magic dust. When the snail thinks happy thoughts, it shrivels up and goes to snail heaven.

put salt on them, it will kill them instantly!!
yes 2 snails may be in one cage... (just do not put salt on them..... (= ...........)
No. They dissolve eventually.
You can step on them or place them on copper or put them in a cup with hot salt water and shake.
No they cant, they need to maintain the osmotic pressure in their bodies. Marine animals have a different salt concentration than freshwater, and therefore their cells would either lyse or shrivel up when put into different concentrations, causing the overall organism to die. And tat is also why snails die if you put salt on them
That sounds like an excellent science project question ... you should get a glass of salt water and put a gummy bear in it and see what happens!
Garden snails need water for sure! Or else the poor things will dry up. Though they will shrink into their shells for protection, they can't do that forever. Sooner or later, they would starve to death if they don't dry to death. But garden snails cannot literally swim in water, so I don't suggest to put garden snails in large quantities of water.
Yes it will shrink you have to put it in really really hot water then through it in the dryer for about two minuts then ring it out (fast so it will stay hot) then through it back In there for a while
Where ever there is moisture you will find garden snails. After it rains there is water everywhere, so that is the reason that you find garden snails easily when is has rained... These creatures have more water in them. Hence if they dehydrate they will die. That is why when we put some salt on such creatures they die instantly...
It's a cruel way to kill a snail, and why would you want to. If you are trying to protect plants they are eating in your garden just put crushed egg shells around the base of the plant, the snails don't like this as their skin is very sensitive. Putting salt on them, must be extremely painful, it would be like pouring salt into an open wound for a human!
Put some jizzle on it then just sprinkle the salt. It will stick really good and the jizzle gives it a nice flavor as well.
It's called osmosis. The salt concentrations inside and outside the cell will "try" to reach an equilibrium, and since the salt concentration outside the cell is higher, water will flow out of the cell, making it shrink.
