The word snail is loosely used for almost all members of the molluscan class Gastropoda which have coiled shells in the adult stage. (Those snails which do not have a shell or only a very small shell are usually called slugs.) Most snails move by gliding along on their muscular foot, which is lubricated with mucus. This motion is powered by succeeding waves of muscular contraction which move down the undersurface of the foot. This muscular action is clearly visible when a snail is crawling on the glass of a window or aquarium. Snails move at a proverbially low speed (1 mm/s is a typical speed]). They produce mucus in order to aid locomotion by reducing friction, and the mucus also helps reduce the snail's risk of mechanical injury from sharp objects.
Garden snails travel at about 0.013 meters per second, or 0.0. mph. A banana slug has been tracked at the blistering speed of .00023 meters per second or 0.0005145 mph.

said the a garden snail travels 0.03 mph
There are about 60,000 species of snails and slugs and few of them or very fast. Some have been clocked at 0.03 miles per hour, however.
a snail can travel 2.36 inches a minute. a snail can travel 2.36 inches a minute.

snails riggels
slow
mucus helps snails to move because its sticky. its also slimy. these to things help the snail to move over different surfaces
fast and hard ;)
Mommy and daddy snails.
Particles
sloth,snail,slug. use these.
They are big and move as fast as land snails. If they are against clear glass you can see their mouth opening and closing.
0.7 MPH!! only 0.3 more than snails!! :L :D
garden snails
No. That is why there is a term that refers to a "snails pace" meaning slow.
Snails glide on their muscular feet.
They move there eyes
.26 mph african snails go at 1.7 mph though!
Snails leave a slime trail because of their limited movement. Snails are very small creatures, and coupled with the wait of their shell, they do not move very fast. Snails leave a trail of mucus, not slime (well i guess it counts as slime..:) in order to help them slip along faster. They use it to glide along on, and it helps them stick so they can hang upside down.

Snails do not have wings. They have a little body part at the bottom of their bodies to move, but they move really slow, like a turtle.
very slowly =]
Yes, they move don't they?
