unfortunately that happened to my snail. it left its shell hid under the rocks and died. i think the shell was getting to small. if you put a bigger one in there you might save it
Baby snails do not find empty shells, in fact, they are born with clear, soft shells. The shells harden as the snail consumes calcium and they start with the egg shell they hatched from. The shell grows with the snail and the inner circle of the shell is the shell the snail was born with.
What I know of that is hermit crabs will eat snails. However, hermit crabs will often use an empty shell of a sea snail.

No. The shell grows around the snail as the snail grows bigger, but the snail is fastened into its shell and cannot leave it. Hermit crabs live in empty shells, and find a new, bigger shell as they grow.

The name of a snail's home is called a "shell." A snail's shell is a hard, protective outer layer that is made up of calcium carbonate. The shell grows with the snail as it continues to grow, and it provides protection from predators and harsh environmental conditions.
