A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A SNAIL: DAILY HABITS


The daily habits of a snail, if environmental conditions are appropriate for him, are always the same.

during the day because your body is permeable to try to prevent the loss of water is sheltered from the sun's heat and light being buried in wet areas, among the leaves or in shaded sites.
When the sun sets, about six hours after sunset, with the coolness of the night, when the shell becomes active, he left his refuge, start looking for food (this food is always sought in a different place of resting place) or is engaged in egg laying and mating. At the end of the night, when it begins to dawn, especially in humid or rainy morning also advantage to the snail feeding, though it does to a lesser extent during the night.
Later, with the first rays of sun returns to the haven of rest going back into an idle state. Their movements are usually a maximum of about 10 m2, made no movements usually involving a greater distance. As you can see the snail is an animal essentially nocturnal and crepuscular during the day devoted to rest.
