Do snails come out of their eggs with a shell?
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 happens to the snail when you find an empty shell?
When you find an empty snail shell, it typically indicates that the snail has died and left its shell behind. Snails do not move out of their shells; instead, they grow into them. If the shell is found in a garden or natural area, it may serve as a habitat for other creatures or contribute to the ecosystem, but the original snail is no longer alive.

Does a snail sleep?
I am sure they sleep, because most living things need sleep to survive (including plants!). I take care of Garden Snails, and I find that they slip into their little shells and remain like that until they are awoken with a shower of water, and thinking that it is rain, they slither out of their shells and look around for food, which is when I give them a piece of lettuce. So they do sleep, inside their shells.

No species of snail is able to 'leave' its shell. The shell is connected to the snail like a permanent tooth. If it were to leave its shell it would die. so unfortunately the snail probably died, or was eaten by a predator.

Do crabs lose their shells?
if they find another shell that they like better, they may just change right into it. I'm suggesting if you have a pet hermit crab to get around five shells for each crab try to pick around the size or maybe a little bigger for the shells. also i wouldn't buy painted shells they don't seem to like them very much. Hope that helps! :)
Is a snail an endangeredanimal?
It depends on what kind of snail you mean. And yes, there are endangered species of snails. I forgot its name, but there is a particular kind of snail that lives in sulphur waters in the Cave and Basin (it's a tourist attraction) in Banff. There are signs everywhere saying that there is an endangered species of water snail here and that it is against the law to touch the water or disturb the fragile environment. Meanwhile, there are TONS of garden snails (You can find them...well...in your garden!). Most aquarium snails are common too. They are sold a lot at petstores.
