Yes, they often can burry themsleves, or find very good hiding spots or even climb into the filter. I have never had any of my hundreds of snails actually leave the water too far behind though.

It could easily survive a fall of a few feet. And many can even survive for long periods of time out of water by sealing their shell. This way they can whether droughts. I had sucked up a small snail in my gravel vacuum and he eneded up spending a week in a bucket with no water. But then the next week he popped right back out.

You were right I skimmed the bottom rocks earlier to see if he was there and nothing this time I did it again and 2nd scoop there pokey was li'l bugger. Thanks never had a snail before they seem tricky.
