I don't know if the snails I have can really survive long without water. But I noticed when I got back home yesterday, one of my snails snuck out of their tank and I found it lying helpless on the table. I did not know how long it had been outside. However, upon seeing it, I immediately put it back to the tank. The other big snail approached it and kind of did something to revive it. At first I thought it is already really dead. Nevertheless, there it was revived because when I got back home from my OJT it is already crawling back.

Have you checked the pH of the water in the tank? Snail and fishies are sensitive to incorrect pH levels and the snails will crawl out of the water and die if the pH is too high. Fishies can withstand a higher pH than the snails can.

It is nice to know that the snail pet of yours survived. I would feel sad and bad if it would happen to me, too. I hope that they can live forever though.

I was really sad actually that time but when I found out it was alive of course I became happy again.

It is not advised to have one if you still have a tiny bowl aquarium without any natural plants because they increase the bio load of your tank, which over time could harm your tank. They enjoy eating the algae that forms on the aquarium's glass or rocks, so if you don't have any, they may start exploring outside, which could cause them to become dehydrated and eventually die.

Yup. All I know is that snails can survive with dry condition. But these small types of snails maybe not.
