If you tread on a snail and you crush its shell can it still live?
"No the snail will not live because it has all of its vital organs inside the shell". Actually a snail can survive a lot. If there is goo and the shell is almost destroyed, its best to put the thing out of its misery. But if the shell is only cracked/chipped, or even has a hole, then the snail will regrow whats needed. Try giving it some green vegetable leaves and a shaded area to recoup, but keep checking on it to see if its okay.
