I just went to check again on him. He was floating at the top of the water, still half out of his shell. I figured well he is gone for sure. So I lifted him up and he moved. He moved his foot and retracted his siphon. So he is still alive or is this something that a dead snail body does when its taken out of the water? I put him back in and he's not moving but his siphon is back out. I just wish I knew for sure one way or another. Still no smell.
I just changed his water. I know I'm probably driving people crazy with my obession over this little guy. U should hear my husband, "Lorinda, it's only a snail!" *sigh*
