Are earthworms cold blooded or warm?
The awnser to this is: earthworms are cold blooded. They are also inveretebrates which means they have no backbone to support them they only swiggle around.
They can fall and that's as close to getting airborne that they will ever achieve.
The simple answer is - you can't ! They lack both the mental capacity to learn, and the memory retention to remember anything you're trying to teach them.
Correction: Gastropods are certainly capable of learning, and there is scientific evidence for it. For example, if you consistently touch the head of a snail, it will eventually stop retracting. In other experiments, a snail could learn to associate a certain taste with a noxious stimuli, so that the flavour itself would cause the snail to retract.

How do you remove sea snail from it's shell?
It's kinda gross and takes a while, but I just put it outside in a safe place and let the flies and ants take care of it... It could smell terrible (mine did), so make sure it's away from people. And make sure its somewhere where people won't take it if it's a cool looking shell.
After a few days I took it back to the ocean and washed it out... seems to have worked!
In the US, helix snails are usually purchased a dozen to a can. They are packed similarly to canned clams, in salted water (brine) with a few other spices.
When ready to use, the "escargots" would be drained from the canned brine,
placed in/on an escargots plate (porcelain) with drawn butter, minced garlic and chopped parsley (traditional)
And placed in a hot oven 400-500 degrees fahrenheit, or under the broiler (only if watched intently) or (if you're lucky enough to have) under the salamander.
Only need to boil the butter (a couple/few minutes) and NOT brown the garlic. If you burn the garlic, through it all out, it's ruined.
A fancier presentation would be to buy especially sold shells to pack the snails, butter and flavoring into to cook and serve in. There would be instructions on their use on the packaging.
Thyme, Tarragon and other herbs are popular additions to the garlic butter.
WARNING: Please warn your first time snail diners that the escargot plates (actually ramekins) are extremely hot and stay that way for some time and they can easily burn themselves with the first bite.
As Julia would say: "bon appétit"
