Do snails hate rain?
Another common curiosity is where snails and slugs go when it’s not raining – it seems like they only exist when it rains! When there is no moisture outside, garden snails and slugs go into hiding to prevent water loss and avoid predators. They also use dried mucus to protect themselves from water loss.
Why do I see so many snails?
Weeds, piles of dead plants and even compost piles provide attractive nesting sites for snails. Pulling weeds, especially those with tender foliage, from around the garden bed and removing all dead plant material from the garden promptly makes your garden less attractive to snails.
What happens when you put a snail on concrete?
Place one snail on the concrete and one on the dirt side by side and see what happens! Remember, no matter the surface, snails are slow moving creatures so if you’re drawing a finish line, keep them close to the starting line or you’ll be watching for a long, long time! Do snails move faster when they are on concrete?
What’s the best way to race a snail?
Make it a race. Place one snail on the concrete and one on the dirt side by side and see what happens! Remember, no matter the surface, snails are slow moving creatures so if you’re drawing a finish line, keep them close to the starting line or you’ll be watching for a long, long time!
What makes a snail move at a slow speed?
As they crawl they secrete a slime to help themselves move across surfaces. Snails and slugs travel at speeds that vary from slow (0.013 m/s) to very slow (0.0028 m/s). The snail’s head bears the mouth opening and one or two pairs of tentacles. The eyes are located at the base of the tentacles.
Where do you find snails in your backyard?
A place where there is concrete and dirt together (a driveway, sidewalk, etc.) Snails can be found in your backyard. They like to come out at night and can usually be found under old, moist leaves or wood (sticks). Do you think that snails move faster on concrete or on dirt? Make it a race.

How do you make snails out of dirt?
You need to know where snails come from in order to find some for your experiment. Dig up and out your two snails. Find a sidewalk/driveway that is next to a patch of dirt. Start the snails side-by-side (one in dirt and one on concrete). Determine a finish line and maybe mark it with some chalk or a rock.
Can snails fit through small gaps?
Having no bones, or even the hard shell of an insect, means that slugs can squeeze through amazingly tiny cracks. They can also climb a vertical surface and even travel upside-down.
Damp, cool conditions will attract snails. Unfortunately, most gardens require a moist environment to thrive, which makes them an attractive feeding ground for these pests. Mulch traps moisture, so you may need to temporarily remove such organic material from a bed if it’s badly infested with snails.
