The snail has a tongue that is like a file, with hundreds of tiny teeth.
It uses this to cut and shred its food. Mix a pinch of flour with a drop of water and add to the top of the clear lid. Watch from underneath how the snail is eating the flour mixture. The snail's shell The snail that lives in a shell has a body that fits right into the coil of the shell, and it has strong muscles that enable it to pull its body entirely into the shell when there is danger.
As an added protection when the body is in the shell, a horny disc at the end closes the opening tightly. Place two inches or more of moist soil on top of the gravel. Place food for the snails on top of the soil and add rocks, sticks, and grass to give the home a natural look. Sprinkle a bit of the crushed limestone and flour mixture in container as well.
