Do snails come out of their eggs with a shell?
Baby snails do not find empty shells, in fact, they are born with clear, soft shells. The shells harden as the snail consumes calcium and they start with the egg shell they hatched from. The shell grows with the snail and the inner circle of the shell is the shell the snail was born with.
Can snails go from one shell to another?
No. The shell grows around the snail as the snail grows bigger, but the snail is fastened into its shell and cannot leave it. Hermit crabs live in empty shells, and find a new, bigger shell as they grow.

Why would you find a huge empty tortoise shell and not the tortoise?
Unfortunately, it is a myth that turtles and tortoises can leave or change their shells. The shell is actually a hard, protective covering over the turtle or tortoise's ribs. So if you find an empty tortoise shell that means that that tortoise has died and decomposed.
