My golden mystery snail has alot of green on its shell. It has really grown quite large and lost a lot of its original color-the algae definitely doesn't help. How long can it be comfortable out of water (if at all)?
Does anyone clean their snails?

They can actually be out of the water with no ill effects for a couple of weeks, so cleaning the shell would not be an issue. I even ship my snails out of water in damp polyfill. I would use a brand new soft toothbrush to clean off the algae. Mine are also getting "green" now that they are no longer with shrimp to clean their shells.
