Well see i just found a snail today somewhat shut in my window. i wasn't sure if he/she would make it but i still put it in a secure area, ( like a plastic container of some sort and somewhat big) and put rocks to eat for it's shell nd leaves for food too. so it really depends. if it's hole shail came off, either kill it fr fast non painful death or keep it very very protected until it can grow it back.
