What is the name of the snail live in trunk of the tree?
Manus Island tree-snail
Papuina pulcherrima
The Manus Island tree-snail eats mainly detritus or fungi and lichens growing on the trees they live in. The snail can live in trees because water is plentiful and it is safe from being drowned, washed away during heavy rain or eaten by ground-foraging animals.
The bright green tree-snail blends with the tree leaves and shelters in humid places-on foliage or in crevices in bark. If the humidity drops it can retreat into its shell to conserve moisture.
The constant high humidity of the tropical rainforest allows breeding several times a year. Individuals have both male and female sexual parts but cannot self-fertilise. The eggs are larger and fewer in number than other species of snail because they are in a reliable environment where most young will survive.
This snail, which is highly adapted to the rainforest environment, has a restricted distribution and could easily be exterminated if its habitat is destroyed. Locals did not collect or use the snails until tourists and shell collectors came to buy them, endangering the population. Introduced carnivorous snails (such as the giant African snail Achatina fulica) brought into Papua New Guinea to control other pests quickly destroy native populations and are a threat to the tree-snail.

Some of the adaptations that a snail (Apple Snails specifically) possesses is the fact that they have both 1 lung and 1 gill. This means that they can either breathe air through a tube like siphon on the left side of the body, or they can absorb oxygen straight from the water. Apple Snails also have a shell door which allows them to retain moisture in the case of droughts (some aquatic snails can survive out of the water for 120 days if the humidity is high enough because of this shell door). They also tend to lay their eggs above water out of the reach of hungry fish. Apple Snails can also skim food off of the top of the water, rather than having to scavenge for it on the bottom of their environment. They will use their foot to trap food floating on the surface by funneling water through it, and then eat the food. Some snails (not apple snails) are hermaphroditic, which means that they do not need a male and female to reproduce, they are capable of asexual reproduction; which in the case of a small population of snails, can greatly increase their numbers very quickly.

How should Cone Snails be handled?
Live cone snails should be handled with care or not handled at all, as they are capable of "stinging" humans with unpleasant results. The sting of very small cones is no worse than a bee sting, but the sting of a few of the larger species of tropical cone snails can be fatal to human beings.
How do you make sea water for a snail?
In the short term, you need to salinate the water- most seawater has a salt content of between 3.1 and 3.8 %; 3.5% is a good average, or in other words, 35 grams of salt for every kilogram of water. Make sure that the salt is completely dissolved. This will keep the snail alive in the short term, but sea water contains other minerals as well besides salt, which you'll need to add in correct quantity- for longer-term, more detailed information, contact your nearest marine aquatics dealer.
