The snail will not move for a while and it wont be in a closed shell. You will definatly be able to see its body which will be greyish instead of pinkish.

snails go through incomplete metamorphosis because the larvae and the adult look the same.

How long does it take for snails to lay eggs?
3-6 weeks depending on species and temperature but they can only reproduce asexually. The process of laying eggs takes from 30 min to 2 hours, depending on the species.
What does a male do to a female snail for babies?
Nothing. Simply because there is no such thing as a male or female snail.
All snails are hermaphrodites. Meaning all snails have both sexual organs and they both sperm and lay the eggs. The snails "stick" themselves together by their underbellies and both fertilise each other.

What do snails do when they die?
This is about the Turban snail. I have heard a lot of people have problems with this particular snail. This hardy snail does well in an established aquarium with ample places to hide. The aquarium should ideally have a large area for grazing and live rock. Since the Turban Snail uses calcium to build its shell, an adequate calcium level must be maintained. It is very sensitive to any level of copper-based medications and prefers a low nitrate level.
The Turban Snail can spawn in captivity, normally in mature reef aquariums. The Turban Snail will expel their gametes, temporarily making the water cloudy. In a few months tiny Turban Snails will be visible on the glass and substrate when the lights have gone off. As they grow the Turban Snails will venture out into bright light during the day.
This information came from Liveaquaria.com, and more information can be found on the web about these great creatures. They need lots of algae if you want them to live, and no more than 2 -3 should be in a 20 gallon aquarium I have heard from other Web sites.
If sufficient algae are not present, the Turban Snail's diet should be supplemented with dried seaweed.
Hope this helps.

Probably.
Adult toads eat insects and invertebrates, such as flies, grasshoppers, spiders, beetles, crickets, grubs, slugs, centipedes, millipedes and worms. Larger types of toad, such as cane toads, are big enough to eat small rodents like mice as well, and small lizards. Since their introduction to Australia, cane toads have posed a great threat to native frog species, eating them as well.
Do snails produce or consume carbon dioxide when in the light?
Snails produce CO2 all the time even if they are alive. It doesn't matter if there is light or not. Animals do not consume CO2 at all but produce it as a product.
How long does it take a snail to grow?

Something that is amphibious spends part of its life as an aquatic creature and part of its life as a land creature. While there are both land and water snails, they are either one or the other and not both, so snails are not amphibious.
Snails may accidentally ingest plastic particles whilst grazing on a plastic surface with a covering of algae, or other food item. But this is not by choice, as the snail is only trying to eat the food on the surface of the plastic.
What animals are invertebrates insects snails lobsters?
All of these (insects, snails, lobsters) are invertebrates without internal skeletons or back bones.
How do you feed a snail in a tank that has no algae?
Snails are small inverts and do not need to eat much. They are scavengers and will eat algae, and any other small things they can find your fish tank. Snails are a great edition to any tank and the need little if any care!
You can supplement their diet with algae wafers, and small pieces of blanched zucchini and lettuce. Very minimally.
What percentage of water is a slug?
70% but the rest is blood and a type of Jelly, its called Gogler.
