I was just wondering. Is there a way to get a snail out of its shell faster? Some of my snails take a while and others will come out if you pick them up. Is there like a special technique? lol. Sometimes if you put other snails near it it will come out. But i was just curious. ( I would like to know a way to get the snail out without hurting it or annoying it by the way)

Watch how snails invite each other to come out of the shell - they give the retracted ones a series of eye stalk pats! Now if my fat fingers could touch a snail as gently as if it was an eye... But they do respond to it. Sometimes at least.
Misting water over the shell seems to work as well.
There are some ways that will also work but probably annoy the snail, so maybe I'll leave them out.

I usually just spray them with water as well.

I used to stroke Snagglepuss' shell very gently with one finger and in about 30 seconds, he would come out to greet me. I thought it was so cute.
