How did you know he was dead? Did he smell really really bad? Did you do the water test?

He could have gotten egg bound.

He sounds dead. (And sorry for being unclear, I was meaning test to see i he was alive by dipping him in water for 10 seconds then lifting him out and see if his breathing hole moved when I said the water test). I must say I am stumped and I am sorry for you loss, losing snails is hard, but I can not give an explanation as to why he died.

Sometimes snails don't have enough calcium and proteins after laying eggs which causes them to die. When you notice that your snail laid eggs immediately give them extra proteins and calcium
