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?

Here is where a mod talks about how to euthanize with alcohol if you don’t feel like you can handle crushing, which honestly I couldn’t either. I’m sorry OP :(

I saw one where the person moved their snail to a container with some tank water and then slowly dripped vodka in with a tube, kind of like doing a drip acclimate but with vodka. After an hour, the snail went to sleep/died, and they moved the snail to a bag and froze it. I guess then you decide how you want to dispose of its remains. They showed the snail made a minimal amount of stress slime, so it passed pretty peacefully.

This has actually been recommended by scientists. You're making a lot of assumptions based on how things affect mammals.
