When you pour salt on a snail it dries up the snail making it bubble. It burns the snail and usually ends up killing it. This is why sometimes people surround their gardens with salt so snails can't come in and eat their plants.

Will snails cross a salt barrier?

A snail's skin is very sensitive to salt because their body, like ours, is comprised of mostly water. Snails have a hydrostatic skeleton that makes them even more sensitive to salt. Osmosis causes the water inside the snail to diffuse out of the snail when salt is placed on it. These facts lead me to believe that a snail will not try to cross a barrier of salt.


Which way do the water molecules move when salt is poured on a snail?
