Is it dead for snails to expel green water when they hibernate?

It shouldn't be dead. You can tell if a snail is dead or alive by its shell, and if the shell of the snail is white then the snail is dead. If the shell of the snail is fresh. Then it's alive.

About summer hibernation: The snail likes a damp and warm environment, and when it comes to the hot and dry summer, it hides in a large house on its back to escape the heat - summer hibernation. At this time, the snail secretes a mucus that seals the mouth of the shell to protect against the scorching sun.

If the snail sleeps to spend the summer, this way of escaping the heat is called summer hibernation.

Regarding hibernation: They will look for burrows under the roots of trees as places of dormancy. The opening of the shell is then sealed with a layer of lime-mixed mucous membrane, which hardens to form a membrane that protects the body from foreign objects.

This rigid mold, commonly known as the upper diaphragm, is slightly breathable, allowing the snail to breathe and survive. At the same time, it is difficult for any water to be lost through it.

<> if it is a snail in the wild, due to the lack of food outside and the low temperature, the snail has to enter a state of hibernation in order to save energy. If it is a snail in captivity, it can avoid the phenomenon of snail hibernation by warming and feeding enough food, so as to maximize the production efficiency.

1. Do snails hibernate?

1. If it is a snail in the wild, it will hibernate. Artificially bred snails can avoid snail hibernation by warming and feeding feed, so as to achieve the purpose of winter breeding and winter breeding (temperature control between 25-35).

2. When the snail hibernates, first drill into the soil layer of about 25cm (the lower the temperature, the deeper the soil layer), and then retract the soft part into the shell, and secrete mucus to form a diaphragm to seal the shell mouth (there are cracks left on the diaphragm for the snail to exchange gas with the outside world to ensure the oxygen required for weak breathing activities), until the temperature and humidity are suitable in the second year, the snail will break through the soil. During this period, the snail no longer feeds, and the secretion of digestive juices is extremely slow, and it is basically in a state of cessation.

Second, the reason for snail dormancy

1. Low temperature. 1) In winter, the outside food is insufficient and the temperature is too low, at this time, the snail has to enter a state of hibernation in order to save energy (20-25 environment, the snail heart beats for 30-40 minutes; In the environment, the snail heart beats 6 times; 0 environment, the number of snail heart beats is 2 minutes).

2) When the temperature is lower than 18, the snail does not reproduce, and the feed intake and activity are reduced. When the temperature is below 12-15, the snail goes into hibernation.

2. High temperature. 1) In the high temperature environment, the metabolism of the snail is enhanced, and the water and heat energy are dissipated too much, resulting in the energy obtained from ingesting food can only supply the metabolic demand, or even unable to meet the metabolic demand, and finally the snail enters a dormant state.

2) When the temperature is higher than 33-35, the snail goes into a dormant state.

3. Drying. 1) Snails can adjust the moisture balance between the outside world and themselves through the pores of the shell. If the outside humidity is greater than the snail's own water content, the snail will absorb water from the outside, and if the outside humidity is much less than the snail's own water content, the snail will lose water and die.

Therefore, when the snail is in a dry environment, it will also enter a dormant state to avoid excessive water loss.

2) When the soil moisture is below about 20%, the snail enters a dormant state.
