Due to industrialization it becomes more difficult to find garden snails, but you can find them at riverbeds or ponds at countrysides. Another answer: in my experience, garden snails find you, and the problem is getting rid of them! Hostas and petunias seem to attract them.
Can you find garden snails if it hasn't rained?
Where ever there is moisture you will find garden snails. After it rains there is water everywhere, so that is the reason that you find garden snails easily when is has rained... These creatures have more water in them. Hence if they dehydrate they will die. That is why when we put some salt on such creatures they die instantly...
Why is it unlikely that you would find gardens slugs and land snails in a desert?
Actually, I live in the Chihuahuan Desert and there are a few species of land snail that live here. They remain in damp, hidden places or underground and only emerge after heavy or prolonged rains. Snails are also found in a number of other deserts around the world.That they must not dry out is the reason why it is unlikely that garden and land snails would be found in deserts.Specifically, garden and land snails exhibit high internal water content. They must access regular moisture sources in order to conserve mucous production and prevent dehydration and desiccation. They therefore need niches within the moist habitats which will not be found in the world's arid, dry lands.
Where can you find snails in your yard?
They are everywhere in your garden after if rains or while it is raining! I collected my garden snails from my garden myself. A lot of them come out when it rains, but if you don't want to get too wet, you can collect garden snails right when the rain stops or when it subsides to a slight drizzle. I found my garden snails all over the place, behind rocks, plants, on trees, everywhere!
What don't garden snails eat?
Well, I think garden snails don't eat a lot of things. On the other hand, garden snails DO eat green vegetables for sure, though I find that they do eat carrots a lot too. They probably won't eat these things (I will only list a few):gumcerealmeat of any kind (they're vegetarians)milkcandyetc...These garden snails pretty much won't eat anything that we can't eat. If we don't eat glue, garden snails don't eat glue. It makes sense, right?Garden snails don't eat anything but what you would find in your garden, no hot dogs or gum. I have only given my captive garden snails: lettuce, cucumber, strawberries, spinach, and carrots. Garden snails shouldn't eat any kind of citrus or any manufactured food, or food that was made people and planted by people.
