No, slugs (Gastropoda class) would have a difficult time living in houses.
Specifically, slugs require moist environments. They might be able to survive on a houseboat or in a tree house. But other than basements or garages with water problems, people's houses generally offer too dry an environment for slugs to survive.
a snail habbit could look like grass and leves and put frit in it so they can eat so that is how they should look llike
snails are very important to our ecosystems, but you have to be very careful near them.
they take great pleasure in biting your ankles if you step too close tot heir underground lairs. if you ever get bitten by a snail, then you must go immediately to A+E because if their venom gets into your blood stream, you could turn into an evil snail, and i've heard that the transition is very very very very painful.
they like to lay brightly coloured eggs so that crows and other nasty birds see them and come to eat them, when they and on the grass, the snails will have set a trap, and they will turn the birds into more evil snails.
BUT THAT HASNT ANSWERED THE QUESTION HAS IT???!!!!
snails are important to humans because they are the only thing in existence (well that we know about anyway) that is above us on the food chain.
thankyou for reading my answer, i hope it has been very helpful for you.
Snails will eat most any plant matter presented to them, though one would only know if they eat all 'herbs' by trial and error.
they adapt in there as it is normally cold and wet and slugs like cold wet places.
One kind of snail mucus is produced by the foot and is used for crawling. The second kind of external mucus is used to coat the external parts of the body. This coating helps prevent desiccation of the exposed soft tissues.
Gastropods (slugs, snails, limpets) have one shell. Some slugs lack shells entirely, and some have internal vestigial shells.
How do herbivores snails and slugs use their radula to obtain food?
It it used for feeding (NovaNet) :)
Do slugs cry when salt is put on them?
Of course they do! How would you feel if you had salt put on you? You know how the wicked witch of the west cried when she had water poured on her... So you'd think a slug would cry a bit if he was being dried up and dying..
What is the estimated speed for a snail?
Speed of a common Snail:
Foot/second: 0.001
Km/hour: 0.003
Miles per hour: 0.004
or about one millimetre per second.
What do salt marsh snails eat?
They don't eat anything. They survive off of the fat built up in their caterpillar stages.
What are the names of the slugs?
1. leopard slugs
2. banana slugs
3. garden slugs
4. red triangle slugs
5. black slugs
6. field slugs
7. keel slugs
If you mean land dwelling snails the largest ones documented can get to be about 15 inches (38ish cm) from the tip of the head to the tail, and weigh approx. 2 pounds (0.91 kg) which is the Giant African Snail.
Hope this answers what you had in mind :)
yes that is why they go up and down the tank. There eating algae even if your tank looks clean there will be microscopic algae everywhere, but if you let them live on algae they will die because they need to eat apples or cucumbers.
Do snails come out of their shells?
Snails do not shed their shell their shell is apart of their body. A snail shell will grow with the snail. I currently have 3 snails but in spring i hope they breed! I know they dont need to mate but the type i have do.. ;) i hope i helped good luck if u have a snail... ;)
"What does snails eat"
lol I felt this answer needed improving.
I have asked myself this question before dear friend, after researching on google i think snails produce a froth when threatened as a defence mechanism.
Why do people don't like snails?
Slugs are considered a decomposer, that is they eat dead or dying material and reduce it to waste that is reused by other life. This means that there is plenty for them to eat, so there are a lot of them.
Is it normal for apple snails to float?
Snails can float or sink depending on how they feel at the time. It is also possible that the snail is dead and sealed into its shell. I would remove it from the aquarium and into a small container for observation. (That would be better than adding a dead snail to putrefy in your aquarium.)
Yes they can live with others but they do not need to it can live alone or with others it doesn't matter.
Mostly in ogercaves, but sometimes when they marry a snail they live with him in his shell. You might also find ogers in the houses of the people they ate.
What adaptations do limpets have?
Major adaptations of the lobster include to large claws to defend itself and an exoskeleton which does same.
