Do snail shells always curl anticlockwise?
no, turn it around and it goes the other way...
Seriously, if the snail is moving across in front of you from left to right, then it will always appear to spiral anticlockwise. The reason is that shell needs a larger opening at the "front" for the snail to stick its head out of.

Will snails cross a salt barrier?
A snail's skin is very sensitive to salt because their body, like ours, is comprised of mostly water. Snails have a hydrostatic skeleton that makes them even more sensitive to salt. Osmosis causes the water inside the snail to diffuse out of the snail when salt is placed on it. These facts lead me to believe that a snail will not try to cross a barrier of salt.
