Why do snails live in gardens?

Answer 1

Apparently there have been many attempts by snails over the years to find themselves alternate domiciles. The Sargasso sea snail has adapted itself to its marine environment over hundreds of thousands of years. When they tried to return to land they found that they had become addicted to sea salt so they were loathe to venture too far from the seaside and thereby fell prey to various predatory crustacean creatures and birds. Their more intrepid relatives made a bee-line for the nearest garden, finding it to be a safer place as they could hide behind tree trunks, secrete themselves under under fallen leaves, ooze their way into hollow logs etc.

Answer 2

Gardeners usually dislike snails because the snails would eat the leaves off plants and leave holes behind and harm the plants. They are great pests to gardeners (though I enjoy taking these snails into captivity and taking care of them) due to their great harm to plants, really.

Answer 3

On the undersides of leaves and in moist areas.

Answer 4

lol. i think that they create colonies and just eat anything green. i have a lot of them in my backyard and that is all i see them do. but other then that, that's all they do.

Answer 5

I know at my school we got snails in our garden because we got exotic plants, but I live in Colorado!

Answer 6

Snails do live in the desert but are only obvious after a heavy rain. During the drier times they remain hidden underground.
