no
I think yes or no.The snail could be alergic.
POISON!
Snails can eat almost anything. They shouldn't eat snail poison, though! :)
You can find snails in dark, damp and moist areas. You can also find them in rotting wood and under a pile of damp leaves.
Backyard snails are not common carriers of Salmonella; however, they can carry other pathogens and parasites. While Salmonella is primarily associated with reptiles, amphibians, and certain foods, snails can still pose a risk for other gastrointestinal infections. It's important to practice good hygiene when handling any wildlife, including washing hands afterward.
Snail poison, particularly from species like the golden poison dart frog or certain marine snails, contains potent neurotoxins that can bioaccumulate in the food chain. When owls consume these snails, they can absorb the toxins, which may then accumulate in their bodies over time. This bioaccumulation can lead to higher toxin levels in owls, potentially affecting their health, behavior, and reproductive success. Additionally, if the owls eat other animals that have also consumed contaminated snails, the toxin levels can further increase.
It can be anywhere. At the beach,in your backyard, in the woods. It's even affective during the winter.
Opossums need the same kind of help as other wildlife. To help them you should: - Make sure your dog understands that it is not OK to kill backyard wildlife - Don't use poison outside! Only use products that are safe for wildlife. For example, opossums love to eat snails. If you use a normal poison, you will also poison the opossum. There are some great snail/slug baits out now that are safe for wildlife (and pets and kids). And use life traps for mice and rats. If you poison them, you may end up killing opossums and hawks and owls and other wildlife. - Help educate your neighbors and family about the important role our backyard wildlife fill. This is especially important for our, shall we say, less attractive animals.
Yes, they are very adaptable and are immune to poison. The only way you can get them off is to peel them off.
Most aquatic snails eat either plant matter, or are scavengers. However, there are some venemous predatory snails called cone snails in the South Pacific that are highly predatory on fish; they have a poison tipped harpoon that they can launch at fish and paralyse them. There are other types of carnivorous snails as well that prey on shellfish.
I've read about ferrets eating snails, apparently without harm. I would make sure that there was no treatment or poison that snails could have ingested. I've read about ferrets eating slugs, I'm not sure why. Maybe they are not getting their nutritional requirements in their diet.
You can eat anything you want, it might make you ill or fat, but you can eat anything even poison
