Do snails need bubbles in order to breathe?
Snails that live on land use a lung to breathe, fairly similar to you or I. Aquatic snails use gills to breathe, similar to fish. Terrestrial snails may produce bubbles as a result of breathing because they secrete a mucous. Air sometimes gets trapped in the mucous, which can cause bubbles to form. But it is not how they breathe.
