There are many, many different species of snail. Some live in water, some on land and some underground. Likewise, some are herbivores, some are omnivores and some are carnivores. The ones that live underground are most likely to be carnivores: eating other smaller snails, worms and insect eggs. Land snails, also called, terrestrial snails, are most likely to be herbivores. Those living in the water are most likely carnivores, killing and eating living organisms and eating carrion (stuff that is already dead). However, remember that no matter where you look, land, sea or underground, you will find different snails that eat all different things. There are just that many different types.
