Where does a snail get its shell?
Note: I copied this answer directly from: http://rochester.kidsoutandabout.com/main-columns/nature/snailshells.html Snails are hatched from eggs. When they hatch, they eat most of the shell, but a small part of it stays with them and that is the beginning of their shell. As the snail grows, so does its shell -- in a spiral shape. New shell is added at the opening of the shell. In the center of the spiral is the part of the shell that the snail began life with. The shell is made from several layers. The thin outer layer is made from an organic substance known as conchiolin. The thicker layer underneath is formed from three layers of crystalline calcium carbonate, similar to the chicken egg of which you may be more familiar. The color of the shell depends on the types of food the snail is eating and also the type of snail.
Will a snail come out of its shell when it's dead?
In pieces yes, and the odor is most foul. If a snail remains unmoving for a couple of days and you still see a his shoe and wonder if he yet lives, simply pick it up out of the water and give it a sniff. It is unmistakable if it is dead. Snails grow their shells while crabs kill the snails for the shells or collect empty shells. As the snail grows so does it shell, where a crab must replace and upgrade its residence as it grows.
What do snails need to get out their shells?
