smm333 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I had no idea that a mystery snail would climb out of the tank! When I got home from work I couldn't find my snail. I looked everywhere and found her on the table behind the tank. Her shell was completely dry. I dropped her into my little tank with baby snails. I figured she was a goner. About 30 minutes later I look over at that tank and she is climbing the wall! OMG, I was ecstatic! I love her so much. Now to figure out how to "snail proof" the openings on the tank top....

lefty o Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 snails, shrimp, and some fish, all openings must be smaller than the convicts trying to escape.😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSwissAquarist Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Or at least smaller than their shells.

AnimalNerd98 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 She was probably saved by her operculum until you rescued her. She clamped it shut to slow down her rate of dehydration, lucky snail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
