I honestly dont have the heart to just stamp on it but i found one that (im assuming) was pecked at by a bird and while its shell is pretty much intact (minus a few cracks) im pretty much 100% sure its vomiting up its organs rn so i dont see it surviving. Ive never had to deal with a dying snail, as my pet ones are young and healthy. What do?

Ive never had to deal with a dying snail, as my pet ones are young and healthy. What do? This is a matter of debate between snail owners as to what method is the most peaceful...definitely do not recommend stamping the little guy out. I believe most people recommend the freezer as the most humane way to end a snail's life. I personally only do this with snail eggs, otherwise I tend to just let nature take its course? I keep snails that are on the small side though and I find they tend to pass more quickly/suddenly than GALS. I have never been in your situation but if you really do not see the poor baby surviving perhaps the freezer would ease your conscience about the end of his life. |

The freezer method seems to be the most humane option.
