no. snails are devils with angel masks. They think the shell will make them look cute so we don't notice them eating our nice garden to bits. But slugs, they eat all the rubbish that we don't want and won't miss, like caretakers of the garden ('janitor' if you're american) they receive scorn but do a noble job. I only stand on snails. I leave the slugs for the frogs to eat.

I will check to see if any of the European garden snails living on my front porch are this weird mutation! (and also check every single one I see ever) I kept snails as pets for many years, even breeding them once and raising the offspring for a year before I got too busy to take care of them and I released them back into my yard. I never noticed if any had counterclockwise shells.

Most snails will love fresh spinach and lettuce. I've also fed snails fish food (I swear, everything eats fish food), so I'd recommend putting them in a container with some fairly moist dirt (make sure you use dechlorinated water though) and some food. If it's a small container or they'll be there for a long time, you should also put some small holes on the lid so that CO2 doesn't build up.
@Glorifica
@Glorifica 8 жыл бұрын
keep the snail moist (but not too wet). feed them a piece of salad or cucumber. you could for example wet a tissue paper, put it in a jar and set the snail onto it. and don't forget punching holes into the lid for air. then keep the jar warm but not hot. if the snail has a shell it probably would be grateful for some eggshell or any other form of calcium. if you were looking to keep a found snail as a pet for longer i would suggest getting it some friends and reading up on the exact needs of the species. but just for keeping it safe for a few days, the above method should be enough for a happy snail. and ps - if the found snail was on lettuce you bought from a store where it was refrigerated very cold, it could be that there just wasn't anything you could do for the little one.

Thanks for the tips, guys! They make sense and sound easy to pull off. I remember when I found the snail I actually thought it was just a seashell, because it was fully retracted inside. After carrying it around for a few minutes I felt something slimy against the palm of my hand...

Last time they had to fly in a surgeon bc the regular surgical equipment is positioned for the heart to be a certain way. They kept telling her her surgeries would be no big deal if her heart was on the correct side, but as it was they had to crack her open and it was a huge deal and recovery, etc. It's crazy that it makes such a difference, but it does!

Oh! Yes, I initially got confused by this, too, and was hoping the picture of the shell on its side would help explain. These snails ONLY have a spiral on one side of their shell (not both). The other side is smooth. So if you flip the snail around it won't have a spiral spinning the other way. Does that make sense?
