I've read that snails in captivity can live for 10 years or more. I've even read that one is documented to have lived for 30 years! I can't recall exactly which species it was, though. So if you have a 2-year-old, you are in for many more enjoyable years together.

I THINK that snails do continue to grow all their lives, but on a barely noticeable scale. not to sure though

i once read that snails grow all the time like 'the snail sanctuary' said. and you were totally correct. you can barely notice it atall. so even at ten years old they could be bigger than they were when they were nine years, so yeah. totally right, they grow forever and ever!
