Do Snail Shells Expand?
snails shed their shells and find new shells
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.

Does a snail sleep?
I am sure they sleep, because most living things need sleep to survive (including plants!). I take care of Garden Snails, and I find that they slip into their little shells and remain like that until they are awoken with a shower of water, and thinking that it is rain, they slither out of their shells and look around for food, which is when I give them a piece of lettuce. So they do sleep, inside their shells.
Where can you find a garden snail?
You can find them under moist areas, they stick on walls, under rocks , wood that has alge
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.
Do snails come out of their shells?
Snails do not shed their shell their shell is apart of their body. A snail shell will grow with the snail. I currently have 3 snails but in spring i hope they breed! I know they dont need to mate but the type i have do.. ;) i hope i helped good luck if u have a snail... ;)
What does a moon snail eat and how does it get its food?
Moon snails drill a hole in the shell of clams and suck them out. If you walk the beach you will find clam shells with small round holes drilled in them near the hinge. That is the work of a moon snail.
Why do mollusks leave their shells?
No species of snail is able to 'leave' its shell. The shell is connected to the snail like a permanent tooth. If it were to leave its shell it would die. so unfortunately the snail probably died, or was eaten by a predator.
What is a good experiment which would confirm whether the substances that form Seashells and snail shells is an element or compound?
You don't need an experiment to find that out. Elements (gold, water, wind, fire...), unlike compounds, cannot be created or manufactured, they just exist, period. This alone tells you that seashells and snail shells (which are natural proteins) are not elements, as they are created organically.
Do crabs lose their shells?
if they find another shell that they like better, they may just change right into it. I'm suggesting if you have a pet hermit crab to get around five shells for each crab try to pick around the size or maybe a little bigger for the shells. also i wouldn't buy painted shells they don't seem to like them very much. Hope that helps! :)
