find a shell for him to crawl into maybe if he lasts long enough he will build a new one bit it is doubtfully that he will last that long I had a snail pulled out of a Shell by a larger one it squeezed into the shell with the other snail now he has a small shell and I think he has left the other snails shell because I don't see him in there any longer. Snails are strange some times.

Do you supplement any calcium? test for it? Snails use Calcium just like corals to grow thier shells. Its possible that if theres not enough calcium for him, he could have outgrown his shell and ditched it. just throwing an idea out there.

Weird I thought that snails (with shells) need their shells otherwise their internal organs would collapse.
