Turbo snail behavior

[RaceFaceR1]

I came back from work and 2 of them were upside down... As in their shell were upside down (hole facing up)... I thought "great my hermit got them" But I turn them around and away they went?!?!?!

This normal?

That is pretty common with mine. They fall off a rock and land upside down. Sometimes the can right themselves and sometimes not. If I don't find them quick enough they die.

If he is still at the same place tomorow I'll move him out of the tank.

I would leave him there till at least tomorrow if not another day after that. Snails can be strange critters on occasion. I have had ones that have sat on the glass or a rock open for hours upon hours not moving only to move along agaion later almost after tanking seemingly a nap :lol:
