TOUCH IT IF IT MOVES OR BUBBLES UP ITS ALIVE
Pour salt on it. If it doesn't move, it is dead.
Pouring salt on it, however, will kill it. Catch-22.
you look at the bottom of the snail try to take the snail out of its shell if it is black it is a unknown snail if it is all white it is a afarcan snail
If it is not breathing, then you can assume that it is dead.
No, a snail is a gastropod.
A snake is a reptile. A snail is known as a mollusc.
No.Reptiles are vertebrates, snails are invertebrates.A snail is a mollusc and specifically, a gastropod.
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
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. :)
you can tell by it shell
