What are snails eyes for?

snails protect their eyes because they roll down the tenticles which sheds them

The eyes of land snails are at the tips of their longer pair of tentacles, and the eyes of marine snails are at the base of these tentacles.

Beacuase just like humans it hurts the snails eyes Beacause your hands have dirt on them and snails dont blink so it hurts the eye

They move there eyes

snails have 2 eyes one on each end of the tentacle

yes havent you noticed there eyes

no it is to bright for there eyes

Snails have long stalks which hold there eyes up and the eyeball has no cover so it HURTS!

Snails do have eyes, but not every snail has their eyes on the same part of their bodies. For example a Land Snail has their eyes on the tip of their tentacles. A Land Snail also move their tentacles up and down and from side to side. This helps them get the best view. Love, Sierra THANK YOU!

Snails can see anything because they have eyes!

yeah they have a body eyes mouth i don't know if they ears

they are those really long ante nae on its head, the balls on top are the eyes

yes, have you seen the stalks on the snail, that's where they are

The two longer appendages on the snails face are considered their eyes, even though they are more of light detectors, while the two shorter ones are used for feeling to see what is in the snails path.

Snails' eyes are not like antennas. They are perched on the top of eyestalks. This way, the snail can move its eyes more effectively.

Aquarium snails are different from regular land snails. All aquatic snails have gills. Just like their land relatives, these snails also have radula(rasping tongue),tentacles, and hard shells. Aquatic snails do not have as developed eyes as land snails. Many aquatic snails have a door or an opcerium at the entrance of their shell. Some aquatic snails also grow to the size of a baseball.

Yes, their nose is also their tongues which are the two pipes which are under their eyes.

Snails have very primitive eyes, and cannot see in color. They can only see whether it's light or dark, and where the light source is relative to them.

I will let you know in a few months. I got some trapdoor snails for my pond and put 4 in my fish tank with my tiger barb. He has managed to eat their eyes off. It is really heartbreaking. I will let you know if they grow back.

Snails do not posses complex eyes in the sense that we do. Snails have light detecting cells located on the ends of stalks on their head. These eye stalks detect changes in light, informing them of a possible attack from a bird by its casted shadow.

A snail's eyes are on longish projections on its head, and the projections are called eyestalks.

The feelers, to find where they're going, and the eyes, to see where they're going, are on the head.

Clams have two shells while snails have a single shell. Clams are blind while snails have eyes. Snails have a rasp-like tongue (radula) for tearing flesh or plant matter while clams are filter-feeders. No clam breathes air while some snails do.

Snails have shells upon their backs and have one "foot" or belly. Land snails have two pairs of tentacles. The long top pair is for seeing. The shorter bottom pair is for smelling and feeling. The slime is very, very important to them. Their slime helps them to crawl over things. They can even crawl oveer a razor and not get hurt. Snails make perfect pets. A snail's eyesight is not good. It can probably… Read More

Nothing happens. Snails are also eaten and considered a gourmet dish.

Answer Probably not, but earthworms have eyes like snails that is only sensitive to light and darkness as how did they know that where they are at the particular place, even on ground (light) or in the ground (darkness). During rain the climatic condition changes to wet and almost dark so, earthworms have eyes just like snails which are sensitive to light and darkness. Some earthworms have eyes like insect so from their protection but… Read More

Its is called a siphon. The snails uses it to exchange gas from above the surface of the water without actually surfacing. This allows the snail to not be a target for predators.

Um, how aren't they? They leave slime. . and they have eyes that stick up but when you touch them, they disappear :O :O eww much !?!

beacuse they cant see well so when they try to reach somthing with there antenna they are aware.

One difference is that Apple Snails are freshwater snails and Garden Snails are land snails.

Lucy Hale has long brunette hair and green hazel eyes, I'm Chris!! Luv ya, I'm gay!

Apple snails are freshwater aquatic snails. Garden snails are land snails. Apple snails have lungs and gills Garden snails have lungs only Apple snails skin is thin and translucent (with slime) Garden snails skin is thick and leathery (with slime) All apple snails have two sets of antennae Garden snails have species with one and two sets.

I know the snails have mouths on the heads, but not really ON. It's like kind of BENEATH their heads. It's under their eyes, on the bottom. It's the same for both water snails and garden snails. That way when it crawls on food it can just eat it, not position the head so the mouth is actually at the food. When the snails crawl on the glass or something transparent, you can sometimes see… Read More

water snails but not regular snails

yes snails do drink go on what do snails drink if you want to know what snails drink.

There are thousands of kinds of snails, but many are known as either garden snails or Roman snails.

Pond snails are aquatic freshwater snails whereas garden snails are terrestrial. They are both different species.

Animals who have eyes on stalks have them because it helps them to see better. Think about what you can see from where you are standing. Now imagine if you were standing on a stool. You can see more from higher up, so lobsters, shrimp, snails, slugs, and crabs have eyes on stalks.

apple snails are single sex snails Incorrect. Many snails are hermaphrodites but apple snails are not. They are indeed male and female apple snails. Go to http://applesnail.net/ for more information and how to sex them.

Yes, snails are fine with other snails, as long as the aquarium isn't crowded.

Snails lay eggs.

Sea snails Freshwater snails

Snails do not have bristles. Snails do have a raspy tongue though.

Apple Snails will eat other snails if you don't feed them. If you feed them, then they are alright.

There are no such things as "mama snails" and "dada snails". Snails are both boys and girls and it only takes 1 snail to have offspring.

No, snails are mollusk. They have no backbone and are therefore not mammals. No, snails are not mammals.
