Slugs and Snails

Yes, spraying snails with a salt and water mixture can be an effective method to kill them. The salt absorbs moisture from the snail's body, causing dehydration and ultimately leading to their death. It is important to use the mixture carefully as salt can harm other plants or animals in the area.

Slugs decompose organic matter by feeding on dead plants and animals. They break down this material into smaller particles that can be further broken down by microorganisms, contributing to the overall decomposition process in the ecosystem.

Periwinkle snails are small marine snails that are typically found in coastal regions. They have a conical shell and feed on algae and other plant matter. Periwinkles play a role in the ecosystem by serving as food for various predators and helping to control algae growth.

Yes, snails can float in water. They have air-filled chambers inside their shells that help them to float on the surface of the water. This adaptation allows them to move easily through aquatic environments.

Snails live 5 to 7 years old.

After 3 months the snail will be fully grown.

Please trust me.

I own 9 snails.

I am also breeding them so I get more.

Please E-mail me if you have any more questions for me.

The shell of a turtle and that of a snail are considered analogous structures because they have different evolutionary origins but serve a similar function as a protective covering. Homologous structures are ones that share a common evolutionary origin, such as the wings of a bat and the arms of a human.

Limpets have a muscular foot with a suction cup that helps them grip onto rocks tightly, protecting them from strong waves and predators. This adhesion allows them to securely attach to the substrate and avoid being dislodged by water movement.

Plants that are attractive to snails include hostas, marigolds, and lettuce. These plants tend to have tender leaves that snails find tasty. To prevent snail damage, consider planting these species in raised beds or using barriers to protect them.

There can be many different types of sea slugs, all with different names. Some of these include the: Nudibrach, a member of the order Nudibranchia of opisthobranch gastropods, the opisthobranchia,a very large group of heterobranch gastropod molluscs, and sea cucumber.

Yes, Giant African Land Snails are known to have periods of rest where they become less active, which can be considered similar to sleep. During these periods, they may retract into their shell or find a sheltered spot to rest.

Sea slugs can be found in oceans around the world, from shallow waters to deep sea environments. They are diverse creatures with a wide range of habitats and can be spotted in tide pools, coral reefs, and even in sandy or muddy bottoms of the ocean.

Some gastropods are carnivores, while others are herbivores or omnivores. The diet of a gastropod largely depends on the species and its habitat.

there are many different ways to make a snail go faster. one of these ways is to take a syringe, half a cup of coffee and a teaspoon of sugar. put the coffee and the sugar into the syringe and give the snail an injection. there is a scientific explanation that a snail's shell holds it down and makes it go slower. so you could just say, remove the shell. but the problem with that is the shell is the snails home. another way (which is really crazy) is to put a snail on a rocket and blast it out into space. but never do this to a pet snail for it may not come back down to earth alive.

snails drink water but not to much water or they will die, if they drink salt water it kills them because it dries up their insides! they also like a drop only a tiny drop of beer. snails paticarly like the rain.

A snail will typically move faster on cement compared to dirt. This is because cement provides a more stable and smoother surface for the snail to slide across, whereas dirt can be uneven and may require more effort for the snail to move through.

I raise my own snails, so I build them like an umbrella, made of wood, with a pineapple top on the top of it. Because snails LOVE hiding in the pineapple leaves. And they love crawling, so you can build what I did, just take 2 pieces of wood, and build it like the shape of a T, and buy a pineapple and cut the top off and nail it on the top of the -T- I know it sounds weird, but its very fun for them.

Mollusks use a specialized feeding structure called a radula to scrape food off rocks. The radula is a ribbon-like structure with rows of tiny, sharp teeth that they use to rasp and scrape algae and other food particles.

Limpets are herbivores that feed on algae. They are part of the food chain where they are eaten by predators such as crabs, sea stars, and birds. Limpets also play a role in nutrient cycling and energy transfer within the intertidal ecosystem.

Snails need to keep moist to prevent dehydration. Their bodies are primarily composed of water, and they rely on a thin layer of mucus to retain moisture and stay hydrated. If snails dry out, it can lead to serious health problems and even death.

different species can eat plants or other bugs

Some plants with hairy leaves and flowers include Lamb's Ear (Stachys byzantina), African violet (Saintpaulia), and Hoya (Hoya carnosa). These hairs can serve various functions such as reducing water loss, providing insulation, or deterring herbivores.

No, periwinkles are not carnivores. They are marine snails that primarily feed on algae and plant matter.

A mollusk (mollusc) is an invertebrate. Some mollusks (e.g. snails, shellfish) have hard exoskeletons.

The mantle of the mollusk helps it protect its delecate skull and grows and shrinks when detectiong danger. The mantle also grows when sexually urged by female mollusks and the mollusk with the largest mantle wins over its mate.
