Question

When my apple snail dies of old age i would like to keep the shell. how do i get the snail out?

Answer 1

I set my dead snail outside under the tree. Eventually it decomposed, and just left the shell.

One time, I had such a large tank, I didn't notice when my snail died. By the time I found it, it had been dead so long, it just fell out of the shell.

So I would remove the shell from the tank, and place it in a container of water, then leave it for a few weeks or even up to a month. as I said, eventually the snail will just fall out of the shell.

Answer 2

I like too save the shells too...I put mine in a small glad food container filled with water...just put it in and let it decompose...it takes awhile but happens eventually

Answer 3
