Well I have a Helix aspersa snail that fell off it's tanks lid and cracked the back bit of it's shell and then a tiny bit came off(you can see the flesh of the snail) all I want to know is what do I have to do to make it survive and not dry out,also I have some small bandages and human plasters-are they a good idea to stop the snail from drying out? please help!!  |

i think you can put gauze on it, then plaster of paris and the snail should be ok.

just wondering in case one of my snails has this happen: could you put cling film (held on by selotape) as a tempory measure? just to stop it drying out

You'd probably have to change the cellotape every day. It's crap at staying on when it's wet. *Knows from trying many many ways to make the plants stay on the side of the tank  * Other than that, I don't know lol Sorry. Maybe you could wrap the clingfilm all the way round, not just put it over the crack? It should stay on better than taping it on. |

just make sure the glue doesn't touch their flesh, but you obviously know that
