Are you in a climate which is cool at this time of year? If so, your snail could be hibernating. Otherwise, look up a local snail farm and give them a phone call before you try disturbing your snail. Your local museum should also be able to help, or you can go to one of the comprehensive sites on the net; try this one: http://www.efarmspro.com/snailfarming.php

Will a snail come out of its shell when it's dead?
In pieces yes, and the odor is most foul. If a snail remains unmoving for a couple of days and you still see a his shoe and wonder if he yet lives, simply pick it up out of the water and give it a sniff. It is unmistakable if it is dead. Snails grow their shells while crabs kill the snails for the shells or collect empty shells. As the snail grows so does it shell, where a crab must replace and upgrade its residence as it grows.

What does a dead mystery snail look like?
If a mystery snail has not moved for more then 3 days, it is likely to be dead. If you do not see it move, this does not mead it is dead. Some snails ony come out at night. If you do not see a snail move, but it is in a different place everyday, it is fine. If it has not moved at all in 3 or more days, it is likely that it is not alive as it will be starving or starved to death. You can try taking a snail out of the tank and keeping it in a separate bucket with some food. This will also help to not polute the tank. If the bucket starts smelling really bad, then it is definitely dead.
If you have a snail that's been in its' shell for 4 days What is wrong?
If it's still tight up in its shell, I mean no flesh is showing, and the operculum is all you see, then it's still alive ( it takes muscle tension to stay this way) if not I would take it out and poke it a few times and see if it retracts further, if not smell it if it stinks real bad, it's dead.
