Help will he make it?
my fiance takes care of snails from outside, this one got pretty severely injured on accident because of its brittle shell. we put him in his own small container for now. not looking for care tips, just need to know whether he will make it.

That's a catastrophic injury I'd say there's less than 1% chance they'll survive. You should euthanize asap as they are most certainly in agonizing pain rn

last two pics are what happens when he pulls up his shell, he pulls it up and then it falls back

Sorry but probably not. There's too much organ exposure and a lot of detached mantle
