Slugs and Snails
Characterized by their shell and slow movement, snails are a common garden dweller and even a delicacy in some countries. Snails without shells are called slugs.

Snails "breathe" through their skin and through an opening called the pneumostome visible on the right side of their bodies.

Can you shoot slugs through a Savage 24 combo .22LR-20ga series N?
I would avoid it if the shotgun barrel has a full choke. sales@countrygunsmith.net
Yes, there are types of snail that can live underwater.
Is it true that slugs have 1 foot?
No. Slugs don't have feet. But some slugs might be crawling as I am typing away ^_^
Why is the sea bunny dangerous?
The sea bunny (a type of sea slug called Jorunna parva) is dangerous because it can steal toxins from its food (never eat one) and because it can steal stingers out of jellyfish and use them against threats.
It is a mollusc that is a snail. It adheres to rocks and is found in the intertidal zone.
A periwinkle is also a type of flower.
it must have mated with another snail at the hatchery or pet store. Mystery snails (Pomacea bridgesii),like many other speciese of aquatic snails, can hold the sperm from mating and fertilize the eggs that are still in the snail.
Sometimes they are brown. Sometimes they can be a green-ish color too.
I know the snails have mouths on the heads, but not really ON. It's like kind of BENEATH their heads. It's under their eyes, on the bottom. It's the same for both water snails and garden snails. That way when it crawls on food it can just eat it, not position the head so the mouth is actually at the food. When the snails crawl on the glass or something transparent, you can sometimes see their tiny mouths opening and closing and they're so cute!
What is the difference between a slug and a snail?
Both are members of the mollusk group and are similar except slugs lack the external shell. They move by gliding along on a mucous-secreting muscle. The dried mucous becomes a silvery slime trail that tells you they have been dining in your garden. The common brown garden snail (Helix aspera) was brought to California as a culinary source from France in the 1850s. Moisture is critical to their survival and is why they are active only at night or during cloudy days. On sunny days they are hiding in moist, shady places. During hot, dry weather they seal themselves off with a membrane while attached to tree trunks, fences or walls. During cold weather, they hibernate in the topsoil. They are among the first pests to begin feeding in spring and the last to stop eating your plants in fall.
The adult snail and slug each lay a mass of about 80-100 eggs and they may do this up to 6 times a year. The eggs resemble small pearls (about 1/8 inch); they can be seen about 1 inch below the soil level or under rocks, boards or plant debris and they hatch when they come in contact with moisture. It takes about 2 years for snails to mature but slugs mature in 1 year. The garden snail may live as long as 12 years but slugs only live about 2 years. Given all this, it is easy to see why there are huge numbers of these pests in the garden. Eliminating as many as possible requires persistence.
Snails and slugs damage plants by chewing irregular holes with smooth edges in leaves. They also chew young plant bark, seedlings and fruits that are close to the ground such as strawberries and tomatoes. Citrus trees are especially susceptible.
No, ants dont eat snails.
Actually, ants eat anything and everything, including snails. But it's harder for them to kill a snail compared to a slug.Why it is important to return periwinkle shells to the same place they are collected from?
It is important to return periwinkle snail shells to where you got them from because their young will either return to that shell where they can smell their parents in, or eventually the shell will disenegrate and make good nutrients to the soil.
What do snails need to survive?
water if they are lake snails use lake water, they also need a closed environment and rocks or sand but i would use rocks. They will also need plants and algae or frozen foods for their valanced diet!!!!!!!!!!!GOSH!!!!!!!!
A lobster is not a mollusk. Lobsters are crustaceans. A lobster is classified as a crustacean because it can move freely in the water to obtain food. Mollusks do not move about freely in the water to obtain food.
