HELP! Broken Mystery Snail!!!
I was fishing for a piece of zucchini i had put in the tank earlier and it had lodged into one of the decorations so I picked up the decoration and sat it on the top of the tank, and walked out to the kitchen, well i didnt realize my mystery snail was on/in this decoration and either he moved and knocked the whole thing off the tank, or i put the decoration there wobby but the point is, the whole shebang fell to the ground with a sickening CRACK. I picked up poor mystery snail and he is cracked and when i put him back into the tank he was leaking blue stuff! What do I do?! omg i feel terrible, i honestly didnt even think to look on the decoration for the snails i was just trying to get the darn zucchini!

Re: HELP! Broken Mystery Snail!!!
Summer, I am so sorry about your snail. I dont know if it can be saved. I recently did something similar. mine did not crack he dried up and died, because I left my decoration out and didn't see the snail inside. I keep wondering if I should replace him? i don't know what kind he was. So I feel your pain. I hope he can recover. Good luck!

Re: HELP! Broken Mystery Snail!!!
If the shell cracked enough to cut his body he probably won't make it. Sorry about your troubles on this, I have had it happen a few times.

Re: HELP! Broken Mystery Snail!!!
I was getting ready to suggest a shell repair but this just doesn't sound good. :(
One thing that will be very, very important now is water quality. If he is going to have any shot at recovering, he is going to need prestine water conditions. I sure hope that it is just minor and we can move on from there. Keep us posted. |

Re: HELP! Broken Mystery Snail!!!
Sad days. Get him outta there cause dead snails cause pretty big nitrate spikes.
