TOUCH IT IF IT MOVES OR BUBBLES UP ITS ALIVE
The scientific term for snail feces is "snail excrement" or "snail droppings." These waste products are produced as a result of the digestive process in snails.
You can identify the type of snail by looking at its shell shape, color, size, and overall appearance. You can also consult field guides, online resources, or experts for help with identification. Additionally, observing its behavior and habitat can provide clues about the species of snail you have.
No, snails do not leave their shells voluntarily. Their shell is a part of their body and provides protection as well as structural support. If a snail's shell is damaged or destroyed, it can be detrimental to the snail's health and survival.
Gary the Snail from the TV show SpongeBob SquarePants is about 18 years old in snail years, which would be equivalent to about 90-100 in human years.
A snail. It moves slowly by gliding along on its muscular foot.
The only way to tell if a snail is dead is to sniff the snail, if it gives off a strong, odorous scent, it is most likely dead.
if it hasn't moved in a week it is probably dead
It will stink like dead fish.
Not necessarily as lots of snails float from time to time. Pick it up and touch the foot with your finger and see if it reacts.
put water in it or shake the snail.
Snails that do not move for a day are definitely not well. An easy way to tell is to pick it up and smell it, and if it smells rotten, then its dead or dieing. Don't inhale too deeply, as rotting snail smell is one of the most disgusting smells you can smell.
Snails stink horridly when they die. If you have the stomach, you can pick he/she up and get a little whiff. Trust me, you'll know then if he/she is dead or not.
A baby garden snail will not move at all when it is dead. One way of establishing whether it is dead or alive is trying to move it with a stick.
it eats dead animals
probably not
you can tell by it shell
yes,depending on what type of snail. If its a small snail then consider it dead but if its a big ugly snail then it should be fine. In other words, check with the vet. :)
