Snails are found in the sea near sandy beaches, on land, where they live in the soil, on the ground, on trees and plants, and they also live in lakes and ponds, where they feed off algae and other plants underwater.

Some snails live on land and some live in water. The body of the snail is soft but snails have the perfect home, which is their shell. Land snails are very well adapted to changing weather conditions. Some land snails have very thick shells. Snails that live in moist areas usually have thinner shells. Some snails that live in the desert can stay sealed in their thick shells for two or more years. Some types of snails are called "burrowing snails", these are only found above ground in rainy weather. When the weather is hot and dry, they burrow about 7.5 to 15 cm into the ground and become dormant until rain softens the ground.
