What is the life cycle of the land snail?
A snail is born as a miniature adult. When it grows into an adult, it usually mates with another snail, however snails are hermaphroditic and do not require another individual in order to procreate.
It lays numerous eggs in a seemingly safe place. Most snails lay hundreds of eggs per year but most get eaten by predators. When the egg hatches as a mini adult, the cycle starts all over again.
Depending on the variety, a snail egg can gestate in as little as a few days.

The snail and slug clade (Gastropoda) is a very vast class of invertebrates. They do not have a true "brain" per-se, but rather a group of ganglia. While it has not been conclusively proven that sea snails such as conches and abalone feel pain, there is evidence that Heterobranchia snails (such as the common garden snail) have nociceptors (pain receptors). In addition, fear conditioning and avoidance learning have been documented in snails of this clade.
That being said, "only the animal knows" if they feel pain, as we are unable to experience what they are experiencing at any given moment. It could be that pain is felt in a different way we are as of yet unaware of.
There are many predators that eat sea slugs; fish, other invertebrates, and possible even humans.

Is a viperfish warm blooded or cold?
Though they are found all over the world, snakes do not, however, like the cold. This is because they are cold blooded or ectothermic. This means that they don't have the means to regulate their body temperature like warm blooded creatures.
Sea Snails can eat bits of dead Animals, but they generally eat weed.
Is a pond snail a carnivore herbivore or omnivore?
I would say it is a herbivore, because they would probably eat the algae in the pond, but some might be carnivores or omnivores, so your best bet is to just look online.
Slugs do have eyes. The eyes are located on the tip of their antenna. If you've watched Spongebob Squarepants, you'll see that Gary has eyes on his antenna.
Yes, because they don't have bones for structure or support so the shell provides them at least some protection from the outside world.
GEEZ, don't you know Gary on Spongebob like all the ridonculous peoples?
xD
Many snails have different length and sizes so you can't tell what is the length of a snail if you didn't tell what snail it is.
Does a snail eat stickleback fish?
Snails are like the 'goats' of the invertebrate world. They will eat most any organic matter presented to them, especially fish.
A mollusk with one shell or none?
The mollusc (or mollusk) shell is typically a calcareous exoskeleton which encloses, supports and protects the soft parts of an animal in the phylum Molluscae, like snails, clams, tusk shells, and several other classes.
Do snails get a new shell when they lose their old one?
Snails do not receive a new shell after they lose one, or better yet do not usually lose their shell. Every year as a snail grows bigger it adds new rings to its shell. These rings are clearly visible from year to year and often have different shades.
Banana slugs live in the redwood forests in the North Pacific area of the United States, in the states Washington, Oregon, and the northernmost parts of California. Slugs, as opposed to snails, generally tend to live in areas such as this region, which are characterized by acidic soils. Snails tend to be native to areas with higher soil pH, for basic soil is more conducive to shell formation.
Salt will kill slugs because the slugs body is covered in mucus and the salt will dry up the mucus and in a matter of time the slug will die.
How do you take care of wild minnows?
Taking care of wild minnows is much like taking care of tropical fish. They need clean water at the proper temperature and ph. Wild minnows may also need to have a current in their tank, and they will do best eating live or frozen foods.
Is a cow warm or cold-blooded?
A cow is a mammal which means it is warm blooded. Snakes and reptiles are cold blooded.
