While both types of snails are mollusks, gastropods, to be more specific, the land snails have developed lungs to be able to breathe on land. Aquatic snails have gills, special organs that remove oxygen from the water. For this reason, land snails will drown if left in a bucket of water that they cannot escape from. Aquatic snails do not have the thick slime that land snails have and will quickly dry out,( if they do not suffocate first) when left out of the water.

Land Snails are sweet, slimy critters that have shells upon their backs and have a single "foot" with you could also call a belly. Pond snails are basically the same thing except they live in ponds. Snails are in the gastropod family. Snails make wonderful pets, and their shells can be mostly any color. Sadly, these wonderful Mollusks are sometimes eaten in some places such as France for example. This delicacy is called escargot. The Snails' body is soft and has a slimy feeling. Land snails have two pairs of tentacles. The longer pair on top are called eye stalks. The eye spots are on top of the eye stalks. Yet Snails have poor eye sight. The shorter pair is for smelling and feeling. Snails have sort of a tongue with teeth on the tongue. This is called the radula. The radula scoops up bits of food rather than chewing. Snails have both male and female sex organs. But they need two Snails to have babies. So both Snails can have little baby Snails. (I call baby Snails Snailets. Although this may not be the proper name.)
