Best Answer

Sometimes the can be in search of food. But the big reason is because they need to breath Oxygen. I had a golden mystery snail and i watch him climb all the way to the top of the tank. When he got to the surface he extended a tube out of the water and his body made a pumping movement which cause him to inhale a lot of air.

Hope this helps.
