Snail health, found a worm. Advice please!

Hi all!

New snail momma here.

Had my little zippy since September, no problems at all until today...

Gave a good mist as usual and fed some snail mix with some potato peelings and a few pumpkin seeds.. A couple minutes later I noticed a pink worm sliding off of the bark into the water bowl. I honestly have no idea how the worm would get in.. I use spider life soil which came bagged. Could the snail have worms? It was quite big considering zip isn't all that large yet. I am quite concerned my lil slime ball. 

Any advice would be fantastic, thank you all in advance!

Sounds just like an earthworm to me! I know that worms can sometimes hitch a ride in bags of soil. If you could link or embed a photo, though, I could probably give you a definitive ID.
