Snails do not change their shells ever. They keep their shell up to the day they die.
chemical change
Snails don't change their shells. Unlike crustaceans, molluscs like snails keep the same shell throughout their lifetime. The shell is formed from secretions from the snails mantle, the flesh under the shell, and some snails (such as the giant African snails kept as pets) can be seen running their mouths along the edge of their shells, to build up another layer on the shells lip. The stripes that make up the pattern of a snails shell are the result of different compositions of shell material at different times.
Snails do not shed their shell their shell is apart of their body. A snail shell will grow with the snail. I currently have 3 snails but in spring i hope they breed! I know they dont need to mate but the type i have do.. ;) i hope i helped good luck if u have a snail... ;)
snails have shells slugs don't it is obvious
snails have an exoskeleton as all other molluscs do, which is what we call a shell. These shells unlike other animal tissues are not made of cells, rather they are composed mostly of calcium carbonate and a little protein.
Snails dont rebuild their shells. I used to think that slugs were just snails without shells, but without their shells, snails die. Their bodies are sort of connected to the shells.
They grow them.
Their shells?
shells.
no
Yes, snails have really hard shells.
The snails shell is part of its body
