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!

What do snails need to get out their shells?
The only way I know of is to strip down the tank, sterilise everything and replace everything that can not be sterilised. A method of keeping snails under control is to have Clown Loaches or Puffer fish in the tank. They will seek out and eat the snails.

snails breath out carbon dioxide as any other human or animal.
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.
How do mystery snails get their shells?
What a thoughtful question! Snails are hatched from eggs. When they hatch, they eat most of the shell, but a small part of it stays with them and that is the beginning of their shell. As the snail grows, so does its shell -- in a spiral shape. New shell is added at the opening of the shell. In the center of the spiral is the part of the shell that the snail began life with. The shell is made from several layers. The thin outer layer is made from an organic substance known as conchiolin. The thicker layer underneath is formed from three layers of crystalline calcium carbonate, similar to the chicken egg of which you may be more familiar. The color of the shell depends on the types of food the snail is eating and also the type of snail. Snails can live live from 5-10 years. I thought that was pretty amazing! The oldest snail known lived to be 15 years old. Snails are usually considered to be pests. But snails are also very beautiful and fun to watch. Slugs are shell-less snails and eat plants as well. To tell the difference between a slug and a snail track, look to see if the slime trail is a continuous trail; if so, then it is slug. If the trail has breaks in it, it's a snail.
