What do snails do when they are awake?
Eat, excrete, hibernate, travel, eat excrete, hibernate, travel etc...
nope...they can only poo.
The closest too pee my garden snail has ever gotten is when it climbed up on to the other garden snail and fell onto a hard surface. I quickly picked it up and from the shell came bubbles and then a yellow liquid. Other than thatt all I have seen are my garden snails poop.
How does a snail feed its baby?
An eel does not feed its baby. The eel will just lay its eggs & don't bother about them. When the baby eels hatch from their eggs, they have to find their own food. Only a very few get to survive.
That is why eels are very few to be found.
Should you wake African land snail from hibernation?
Yes, they do hibernate, but it can be prevented by keeping the tank at around 25C and spraying with warm water.
Snails float when they are nervous. If your snail is floating partially out of it's shell, you may have a problem. Try picking the snail up and smelling it. If it has a gross and strong smell, you have a dead snail.
Why are snails and insects similar?
snails and mosquitos can both play host to very nasty viral or parasitic passengers. snails can carry a parasite the causes schistosomiasis and different mosquitos can carry anything from dengue fever to yellow fever to malaria to west nile virus to philariasis.
schistosomiasis is very treatable if caught before late stages where as malaria, west nile, or dengue can cuase death very rapidly, some cases even 24 hours.
in wet moist areas. they come out at night because it is realy cookl outside.
Its up to god, if he wants to give them legs he wil and if he doesnt then he doesn
It is like a periwinkle except larger. They come in different shapes, sizes and colours. They are a mullusc and are actually snails! They stick themselves to rocks and use their rough tougue to scrape off microscopic seaweed. They only eat at night because it is the safest time to move around. They are herbivores and have an exoskeleton. They look like shells that you would find anywhere and they are almost super glued to rocks. Don't pull them off as you will remove their "suckers".
What does a real outdoor snail eat?
Alyssum, fruit and leaves of apple, apricot, artichoke (a favorite), aster, barley, beans, bindweed, California boxwood, almost any cabbage variety, camomile, carnation, carrot, cauliflower, celeriac (root celery), celery, ripe cherries, chive, citrus, clover, cress, cucumbers (a favorite snail food), dandelion, elder, henbane, hibiscus, hollyhock, kale, larkspur, leek, lettuce (liked, and makes good snails), lily, magnolia, mountain ash, mulberry, mums, nasturtium, nettle, nightshade berries, oats, onion greens, pansy, parsley, peach, ripe pears, peas, petunia, phlox, plum, potatoes (raw or cooked), pumpkins, radish, rape, rose, sorrel, spinach, sweet pea, thistle, thornapple, tomatoes (well liked), turnip,wheat, yarrow, zinnia. They will eat sweet lupines, but will reject bitter lupines and other plants with high quinolizidine alkaloids. Snails also avoid plants that produce other defensive chemicals, defensive stem hairs, etc.
Why does the snail have a shell?
An educated guess of mine is adaption. Yes, there are slugs, but they are more prone to be eaten or attacked by predators because they don't have a source of protection. Their vulnerable, slimy skin is exposed completely. Maybe snails are an adaption of these slugs, a twitch that Mother Nature made, by adding a shell. So when a snail is attacked, all they have to do is slip into their shell and they are probably nice and safe (unless the predator is smart enough to flip the snail over and peck at the flesh inside).
If snails could talk what would they say?
Snails are commonly known to be bilingual, the average snail speaks upto 7 languages, recent studies showed Chinese and Russian to be the most common languages amongst the snail universe. However some snails are born without voice boxes and have to use their antenas to communicate.
No, slugterea slugs are not real. Slugterea slugs are magical creatures that turn into more powerful versions of their species when they hit one hundred miles per hour.
Why do snails leave a slime trail?
Snails leave a slime trail because of their limited movement. Snails are very small creatures, and coupled with the wait of their shell, they do not move very fast. Snails leave a trail of mucus, not slime (well i guess it counts as slime..:) in order to help them slip along faster. They use it to glide along on, and it helps them stick so they can hang upside down.
Is my Giant African snail asleep?
well there not really asleep because if u sprey THEM (not the shell) they wil come out , if u have bark as the beding then that's why the bark is hard and they don't like it they woulg rather have nice soft soil insted but if u have got soil u need to change ther food evrey fortnight .... hope i helped x
What kind of habitats do snails need?
A snail has food like moss and leaves. A snails habitat is hidden to keep its predictor from killing it.
Well..., I have just gathered three snails from my garden. (I see many each night who visit for a midnight snack.) The 3 are sitting on a plate with some regular grocery store green cabbage. All three have been munching quite happily for several minutes now. I think they like it! Ok, yeah, after like 10 minutes now... they love it.
After a little more research, I have identified my snails as Helix Aspera or the Common European Brown Snail. They live here in California. I have a lot of them in my area. They are very happy eating almost everything (especially Cabbage) here is a list of other foods for these snails:
Buxus microphylla 'Japonica' (California boxwood), Crinum sp., Cupressus sempervirens L. (Italian cypress), Grevillea sp., Hibiscus spp., and Juniperus spp., Rosa sp., and other unidentified plants and shrubs at the Davie, Florida, infestation (1969). Gunn (1924) listed 49 plants as hosts in South Africa: Vegetables: cabbage, carrot, cauliflower, celery, bean, beet, brussels sprouts, lettuce, mangel, onion, peas, radish, tomato, and turnips. Cereals: barley, oats, and wheat. Flowers: alyssum, antirrhinum, aster, balsam, carnation, candytuft, chrysanthemum, dianthus, dahlia, delphinium, hollyhock, larkspur, lilies, marguerite, mignonette, nasturtium, pansy, pentstemon, petunia, phlox, stock, sweet-pea, verbena, and zinnia. Trees: apple, apricot, citrus, peach, and plum. Shrubs: hibiscus, magnolia, and rose. === ===
