How long do snails live without food?
Hey It's me, Jamie. If you Are looking for the answer to this question, then keep reading! At school I have Science Trivia questions and this is one of them. The answer to "How long can a snail sleep without eating", Is 3 years. Snails are very peaceful and slow creatures. I'm guessing That they can sleep without eating so long because their digestive system is terribly slow. I don't really know why, but that is the answer. I looked it up EVERYWHERE, and literally, EVERYTHING said 3 years. I hope I answered your question proporly. If this is NOT what you are looking for, Type Your question In the Search bar above.

Can a snail make its own food?
A snail does not produce its own food:
A snail breaks up its food using the radula, which is a chitinous structure containing microscopic hooks called cuticulae. With this the snail scrapes at food, which is then transferred to the digestive tract. This is why, in a quiet setting, a large land snail can be heard 'crunching' its food: the radula is tearing away at what it is eating.
Snails do not have wings. They have a little body part at the bottom of their bodies to move, but they move really slow, like a turtle.
Snail shells are made of the same material that fingernails are made of. Fingernails are made of tough protein called "keratin".
How do you do to know that a snail is male or female?
Slugs and snails are hermaphrodites with both male and female sexual organs. When they mate, each snail will fertilise the other, and each snail will then produce offpsring.
If it's a water snail, however, there is a difference between the two genders.

They grow just like how our nails grow. The snails need calcium and produce newer layers of shell as they get older
Slugs eat vegetables; lettuce leaves, carrots, and other soft vegetables. That is why farmers hate slugs.
Slugs feed on vegetation of all kinds: plant leaves, fruits, vegetables, fungus (such as mushrooms), and decaying plant material. Slugs have file-like mouths which make uneven holes on plant leaves and stems, causing stress on the plant and/or killing the plant over time.
Although they prefer to munch at night, slugs do not "leave without a trace." Rather, they leave behind holes on plants and shiny trails of slime.
To kill slugs: keep the garden well-managed (pull weeds, rake leaves, cut grass, prune shrubbery), setting out chemical deterrents that cause the slugs to dry up (such as diatomaceous earth, lime, and sawdust, not salt), and trapping the slugs in beer cans submerged in the soil.
Are land snails dangerous to people?
Conus snails are venomous and capable of stinging humans. The species that is most dangerous to humans are the larger ones.
They do have soft bodies but some species wear a shell to help protect them self.
How many tentacles does a snail have?
Most snails, like many mollusks, have a ribbon-like structure called a radula in their mouths. Radulae have numerous rows of teeth, the exact number of which may vary. Some carnivorous snails eat the soft flesh of other mollusks after using their radulae to bore through the shells of their prey.
What is the color of a girl snail's shell?
The colours of snail shells have nothing to do with their sex because snails are hermaphrodites, being both male and female and producing sperm and eggs at the same time. To fertilize their eggs most snails need to exchange sperm with another snail.
