During the summer when it takes several days very hot and the humidity is not ideal (the prolonged absence of moisture along with high temperatures) the snail has the power to lethargic and reduce cardiac impulse to stop eating and reproduce by entering a dormant state similar to hibernation. You can stay up to 40 days in this state.
