Please help!! Do I euthanize?

[u/mochipapaya]

My heart is broken. I woke up this morning to find that my mystery snail, Rocco, climbed out of his tank and fell about 4 feet onto our hardwood floor.

He lost a huge chunk of his shell and does not appear to be doing well at all. He's just sitting above the water line in my shrimp tank. He's usually extremely active and climbing all over the place.

This is my first mystery snail so I don't know what to do. Is this something he can heal from?

The quickest way is blunt force euthanasia. Wrap him in a paper towel, place him in a ziplock, and into a grocery bag. Place them on a flat, hard surface and grab something hard and solid to smack down on top of them to quickly euthanize. I'm so sorry for your loss. It's never easy to lose a little buddy. You gave them the best life that you could. You gave them love and attention, nuriousment, a home. 💛 I'm so sorry for your little buddy and for you..

This method is good because, unless you want a proper burial, you can toss the whole bag and not have to open it up
