i have recently bought five (1month old) captive bred helix aspersa, and all of them are really active and happy, but one of them wont come out of his shell all the way, but will only stick out his eyes. the rest of them are very active, but i have bathed the "lazy" snail in warm water, and he still doesnt seem ok. could it be that he is just lazy? can anybody tell me if they have had a snail like that, and any ideas on why my snail is behaving like that? i am kinda worried that the poor little snail wont be ok. the only things i have fed him is romane lettuce and some carrot.

Hi,
you could try to offer another food, for instance sweet potatoe and cucumber, all of my helix love that very much.

ok, so i will try different food, and will tell u guys if that works. i have still tried to get him out of his shell and explore around his house, but he will still only stick out his eyes. maybe he could just be getting used to his new home, but the other four helix aspersas are always on the move.

yeah, the others are eating drinking and partying all day long, lol.
the person i bought them from warned me that one of the snails wasnt looking good, and so he didnt charge me for him in case he did die. i took him in anyway to try to nurse him back to help, but i guess it was too late.
