Slugs and Snails

There are many answers for this, there's brown, light brown, brown mixed with green, green, dark green, and there is a snail in Florida called the Humbord Snail and it is black.

It dies.

Be careful with your snail. Feed it egg shells to keep the shell strong.

Lettuce leaves dipped in boiling water to soften them. Or to get them to grow faster make "snail jello". You can find several recipes online or make your own custom recipe, here is one below..... 1 can of baby food (4-6 oz)

1 tsp+ fish food (may be omitted)

Calcium/vitamin supplements (I use 1tsp Jurassi-reptical powder w/out phosphorus)

1 packet (= 1 tablespoon) unflavored gelatin Open the baby food and pour it into a small bowl. Heat the baby food in the microwave for 60 seconds (caution, it will be very hot).

Stir in the unflavored gelatin (add it slowly to avoid unsightly clumps of gelatin; don't use a blender or you risk creating air bubbles that will make it float) crushing any lumps with the back of a spoon.

Add calcium supplements and vitamins if you have/want them. Stir thoroughly.

Pour this mixture into a dish with a flat bottom (tupperware-type containers work well; if you are doubling or tripling this recipe, you might consider a pie pan).* Fold in your fish food(s) if you are adding any.

Refrigerate for several hours, then return and cut into cubes.

One jar of baby food yields a good handful of snail treats. Keep them refrigerated until serving. These sink and hold up pretty well in the tank, but as with any food, large uneaten portions should be removed after the snails have finished. These can be frozen for up to a month.

*You can use an ice cube tray to create big treats for a tank full of snails. No slicing is needed in this case.

garden snails

they are about 0.1 mph

yes-a snail lays a package of small round eggs on the ground. Several packages often are left in the silvery, slippery trail behind a crawling parent. The eggs mature and the embryos develop miniature shells like tiny fragments of glass. The little hearts begin to beat, and in a week or so the young snails emerge. As a rule, they eat their own egg shells. Then they crawl off to find other snail food.

No

Snails have many predators. Fish and water birds eat many kinds of snails. People harvest several species of snails. Abalone, periwinkle, and conch are sold in seafood restaurants and shops for human consumption, and certain land snails are served as escargot in gourmet restaurants.

Snails depend on Hydrillas for food and oxygen while Hydrillas depend on snails for carbon dioxide

giant African land snails are constant eaters so as long as there is food they will eat it. also they need a constans surply of cuttle fish bone or they will die, there fav food is lettice an cucumber

polar bears live in cold places because where they lived use to be hot than we had an ice age then it turned into the ice caps and the bears adapted

One slug was recorded at 0.054166667 inches per minute, an apparent record for slowness. Its close relative the snail has been known to reach exactly 120 times that, 6.5 inches per minute. See the related link.

Murex snails are no longer used as dyes because this use led to over harvesting and near extinction of the species. A synthetic dye that is close to the original color of the snail dye is now used instead.

No, I don't think so. But they can have about two hundred offspring.

To other animals, they are an important source of food, are also a consumer of vegetation, and help with the decomposition process as some snails eat the dead and dying tissue of plants. To humans, their shells have been used in our culture for centuries, and the French and other societies eat them regularly.

The find a safe dry place in Autumn then stick themselves into their shells with a sort of clear glue (this closes the shell opening). They hibernate in this state over the winter and re emerge to eat plants with the warmth of spring.

i think it lives in warm places

Actually aquatic snails must breath out of water. They breath from the surface.

If you keep a snail in a jar like me, the bottom must be soaked with wet towel or cotton. Place food in the jar,and change the food every day to prevent rotting. for food, use flour in a screw-on cap, cut carrots,and lettuce. Clean droppings.change or water cotton.Just follow these daily routines! You might want chopsticks for toys for the snail.

Snails have gils.

Nope they dont. Certain types of worms (polychates) have segmented bodies, as do crustaceans (lobsters, crabs, etc) and insects.

yes they are really poisonous you have to watch out for them.

I have never heard of water snails eating chalk, i just go to the pet store and get some algae wafers

There are over 30 slug species found in the United Kingdom. These include the Common Grey Field Slug, the Garden Slug, and the Great Grey Slug.

The Mystery Snail will crawl out of The tank and bite you, so get some gloves or something so it does not get slime on you.

neither they are both as lazy as each other
