A snail's skin is very sensitive to salt because their body, like ours, is comprised of mostly water. Snails have a hydrostatic skeleton that makes them even more sensitive to salt. Osmosis causes the water inside the snail to diffuse out of the snail when salt is placed on it. These facts lead me to believe that a snail will not try to cross a barrier of salt.
