Can land snails survive in water, and if so, for how long?
Land snails cannot survive in water for extended periods of time. While they may be able to survive brief periods of submersion, prolonged exposure to water can lead to drowning and death. It is important to ensure that land snails have access to a moist environment to prevent dehydration, but they should not be submerged in water.

How do snails survive in wetlands?
All snails need water to survive. I doubt that they will survive lack of water. First, water snails have to live in water, or else they will dry up (I know this from experience, because once my water snails crawled out too much that they crawled out of the aquarium. I found them underneath the dinner table, dried up like un-cooked pieces of macaroni.). I know garden snails will drown in water, but without water they dry out as well, and will go inside their shells and won't come out. So both types of snails won't be able to survive lack of water, in my opinion.
