At what temperature do Garden Snails stop estivating?

At what temperature do Garden Snails stop estivating?
It's 74° (according to the thermometer thing in the house right now), and I have a heater attached to the terrarium (Reptitherm, can't remember what model but it's the smallest, I believe, and it doesn't melt plastic), but the snails are still estivating. I moisturize the terrarium every day, too, but they're still sealed in. Have I been doing something wrong, or do they stop estivating at over 80°? They aren't dead, since I've smelled them today to see if they smell bad, and they smell normal (they usually smell like the fake dirt, or nothing at all, which is what they smelled like), and it's been like that for a couple of days. I don't think Google will help because of how long the title is; the longer and more """obscure""" the title is, the less help I'll get, which sucks. I don't know if they've somehow trapped themselves in the seal, either, but it could be possible due to the fact that they'd get themselves stuck on the terrarium walls by sitting there, and then the goo dries.

If they are C. aspersum they should be active between 50*F-85*F. likely the bigger issue it the amount of water being sprayed onto them or the humidity. I recommend you just pull them off the glass to break the mucus seal snd sorry their skin to wake them up, as well as a solid terrarium misting.

I've taken them off the wall plenty of times, so it's fine when that happens.
I spray their terrarium a ton right after I wake up pretty much every day, and it's usually 71*-75* Fahrenheit. I've been trying not to spray too much, because the bottle will get emptied fast. I set the babies up near the water and put some food there for when they wake up, but since they should be active around 50-80, 70 seems like a reasonable temp for me, and I'm even more worried they might've somehow trapped themselves in their shell with the seal even more.

If you're spraying so much that the bottle is getting emptied you might be spraying too much and the tank may be too wet. Garden snails like things slightly damp, not soaking.
Pick up a handful of the substrate and squeeze it firmly. If more than a couple of drops of water come out, it's too wet.

I mostly soak it once per day, but hmm, maybe I might be spraying too much. I'll spray less for the next few weeks and see if they come out (I think it's not soaking wet now, since it's 6 PM now)

I think a picture of the terrarium would be super helpful. Depending on the soil type, the size of the spray bottle, air flow in the room, etc, this terrarium and the substrate could be at any moisture level from super dry to super wet. I don't believe they would be estivating in super wet conditions though, for some of my common snails I increased the humidity to "tropical levels" by plastic wrapping large sections of mesh and they were more active than ever.

Sadly, I don't have anything that can get a picture for this. I might be able to try and illustrate it, though my art is a little bad. The snails were fine before they were estivating (we got them in the winter, and they were horribly packaged, but I spoil them and give them lots of food) and I think the only problem could be the temperature.

They still seem to be asleep
EDIT: One's coming out!
