 They are so cute! but how come I always see empty snail shells outside? I thought they needed to find shells like hermit crabs?
No, snails grow their own shells; that's where shells come from! :crabbigsmile:

When a snail gets eaten or otherwise dies, its shell is left behind, and a hermit crab might decide it will make good protection for the crab, too.

There are snail groups and people will take clutches by mail, for future reference.
