Yesterday I found a baby snail( Cuban brown snail) and today she is making a thick slime bubbling and is not moving! Please help! She's most likely injured somehow and is foaming. That's what snails do when injured. I'm not sure there's much you can do for her until she stops foaming.

astana is right. I found an injured snail with a cracked shell, all foamy and slimy. The slime didn't wash out of my hands for a while! It was a cuban brown snails, those are the ones I like best!

I'm not sure how she she would be hurt. She was fine yesterday. I had her in a temporary container with nothing but basil a some light misting.

they foam when stressed too - so a lot of snails foam if you pick them up. it's a defence mechanism. i think some foam when forming a seal aswell if the conditions aren't quite right.

She was a very brave snail, sliming on me and letting me pick her up. When I'm home I'm going to try to bathe her.
