a snail has abreathing hole on the side of its body, the slugs also have the same thing
snails breath through lungs
because it was named after my dead water breathing snail!
Thepneumostome (or breathing pore) is a feature (the respiratory opening) of the external body anatomy of an air-breathing land slug or land snail. It is a part of respiratory system of gastropods.
Perhaps you are referring to the air-breathing land snail, Nesopupa ponapica.
Sounds like a snail, probably.
You can put a snail in a small 5 or 10 gallon fish tank with a screen. Or one of those plastic tanks with removable lid. They need to be in a closed container, but with breathing holes. But holes NOT big enough for the snail to get out.
Freshwater-, land-, or sea-dwelling is the way to classify a snail. Such a classification puts the snail in question in the gastropod class of the mollusc phylum within the animal kingdom. Another way of classifying a snail therefore will be as a gill-breathing creature of water-logged habitats or a lung-breathing creature of moist, but not water-filled, niches on land.
Stylommatophor, however this classification level is as yet unassigned (it is not officially a family) but the term pulmonate is used to refer to air-breathing land snails. via http://animals.about.com/od/mollusks/ig/World-of-Snails/Snail-1.htm
No a snail can't live in a snail.
Snails are characterized by their spiral-shaped shells, muscular foot for movement, tentacles with eyes for sensing their environment, and a radula for feeding. They also have a mantle that secretes their shell and a pneumostome for breathing.
My African Land Snail's whole body partially came out of its shell the night before it gave birth and we assumed it was dead, but underneath the shell we could see small bumps under its skin. The next morning it seemed to have managed to pull itself back inside its shell and was surrounded by lots of snail eggs.
No, you can not turn into a snail by eating snail food.
