If you want to keep snails as pets then you will need:
- a sutible container
- a sprayer
- cuttle fish bone
- food
- soil
- bark/twigs
If your snail is a fully grown garden snail I would suggest that you get a 3.5-4.0 litre container, drill some holes at the top so your snail can breathe (make sure your snail can't escape through the holes though, if you think it can then get an old pair of thin tights (15 dernier is good) and cover the holes). For african land snail you would need considribly larger.
Snails like warm moist conditions, I suggest that you buy a sprayer and set it to mist, when sprayed from a distance little droplets will form on the container which is perfect for a snail. The soil help keep the tank warm by radiating a small amount of warmth.
For decoration and a play area for your snail you can find some twigs in your garden/park. Only choose things that is natural for your snail.
It is very important that you choose the right food for your snail, Cuttle fish bone is a must and any natural chalk that you find will be good to. Generally, snails like to eat vegetables, this is true but they can't have any chemicals on them or your snail will die.

Can snails live in a container that has grass lettuce sand and holes?
YES THEY CAN BECAUSE I HAVE HAD MY SNAIL FOR 2 YEARS IN A CONTAINER. BUT MAYBE ONCE A DAY LET IT OUT OF THE CONTAINER FOR LIKE 15 TO 20 MINUETS AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE HOLES IN THE CONTAINER BUT YOU DON'T NEED SAND. Insted of sand try dirt! It's better for the snails!
Is it normal for apple snails to float?
Snails can float or sink depending on how they feel at the time. It is also possible that the snail is dead and sealed into its shell. I would remove it from the aquarium and into a small container for observation. (That would be better than adding a dead snail to putrefy in your aquarium.)
