    If only a small part of the mantle is not damaged, the snail's mantle secretes shell components to repair the damaged area. If the damage extends deep into the internal tissues, it is less likely to survive.

    It depends on the specifics of the breakage:

    If only a small part of the shell is damaged and the mantle is not damaged, the snail's mantle secretes shell components to repair the broken area. The repaired area is slightly lighter in color than the shell of other parts.

    If the damage is deep enough to the mantle, the snail will not be able to secrete the shell component and repair the damaged area. However, the broken area can grow into scarred connective tissue. At this point, the snail is unable to repair its shell, but it is still possible to survive.

    If the damage extends deep into the internal tissues, then the chances of survival are relatively small. Because of the damage to the internal tissues, microorganisms in the environment enter the snail directly. The metabolism of snails is relatively slow, and it is difficult to heal the wound in a short time, and the continuous entry of microorganisms will cause serious effects.

    Inside the shell of the snail, there is a mantle, which is the fold of the inner wall inside the shell of mollusks and brachiopods. The outermost part of the mantle secretes the shell component to make the shell. The second layer is made up of muscle and connective tissue, which gives the inner mantle a certain strength and toughness.

    There is also a third layer, and in the case of mussels, cilia grow in the direction towards the inside of the shell to drive the movement of the internal current.

    Once a snail shell is broken, it is generally impossible to salvage. 1. If only a small part of the shell is damaged, and the mantle is not damaged, the snail's mantle will secrete shell components and automatically repair the damaged parts. 2. If the damage is deep into the internal tissue, the snail is less likely to survive, because the internal tissue is damaged, and the microorganisms in the environment will enter the snail's body.

    3. As long as the shell is not very serious, it can generally heal naturally, and feed the snail more tomatoes, eggs and other foods during the healing process.

    If the snail shell is broken, whether the snail can survive depends on the damage of the snail shell.

    If the damage is very large, or the whole thing is damaged, then the snail will not survive.

    If the damage is relatively small, then the snail still has a chance to survive.

    The snail shell can still live after a hole is broken, its back shell will continue to thicken in the later growth process, with a self-repair function, as long as the hole is not big, the snail can live normally, the snail likes a warm, moist environment, in humid conditions, the body surface will secrete a large amount of mucus, which can resist the invasion of pests and play a protective role.

    Hello! It doesn't matter if the snail shell is only cracked a little on the surface, it will not affect the growth and development of the snail, if the crack is relatively large and deep, it may be difficult to survive. Hope mine can be helpful to you.

    The snail's shell is cracked, and the probability of being able to live is very low, and the shell is originally the function of protecting her body, but if it is cracked, its lifespan is estimated to be short.

    If the snail shell breaks, will the snail still live.

    If the snail shell is broken, whether the snail can survive depends on the damage of the snail shell. If the damage is very large, or the whole damage, then the snail will not survive, if the damage is relatively small, then the snail is still possible. Snails are a terrestrial species, and they often carry a shell on their backs, but the presence of anything in nature is justified.

    A snail shell shattered like this can't live. The snail shell is connected to the snail's **, and after the shell is broken**, it is also damaged. Snails lose a lot of body fluids and die from bacterial infections.

    If the snail's shell is less damaged and only marginal damage, then it does not make much of a difference to the snail, which can secrete a substance to repair the broken part.

    When the snail shell is damaged beyond the snail's ability to repair it, the snail is less likely to survive depending on whether the damage is fatal.

    This actually depends on the severity of the damage to the snail shell, if the shell is damaged to the inner wall, resulting in irreparable, the possibility of death is very high; If it is only damaged a little, it can be repaired, and it will not be able to die without harm.

    The snail's shell has a coat inside it, and it secretes the components of the shell to make the shell. However, whether the damaged shell can be repaired depends mainly on the specific condition of the damaged shell. Specifically, it can be divided into the following three situations:

    1. Minor injury.

    If only a small part of the housing is damaged and the coating is not, the coating secretes out the housing assembly to repair the damaged part. The damaged parts after repair are slightly lighter in color than the original parts.

    The regrowth state of the shell fracture changes from white and transparent to yellow, and finally reaches the same color and pattern as the original shell. However, there will still be scars. It can be seen that they have been repaired.

    2. Moderate injury.

    If the injury and mantle are damaged, the damaged area cannot repair itself, only the scarred connective tissue is lost or grows, and the snail may continue to survive.

    3. Serious damage.

    If the damage and internal tissues are destroyed, external microorganisms can directly invade the snail's body. Due to the slow metabolism of snails, it is difficult to repair wounds in a short time. The constant invasion of microorganisms can seriously affect the survival of snails, so the possibility of snail survival is relatively small.

    A snail can live without a shell. Snails refer to all terrestrial species of the class Gastropoda. In general, Western languages do not distinguish between aquatic snails and terrestrial snails, and in Chinese, snails only refer to terrestrial species, while snails in a broad sense also include giant shield slugs.

    The snail is an animal that includes many different families and genera. Feeds on plants and lays eggs in the soil or on trees. It is more common on tropical islands, but some also live in cold regions.

    Snails have carapaces, are shaped like small snails, and are diverse in color; The head has four antennae, the head is extended when walking, and the head and tail are retracted into the carapace together when frightened; Snails have saliva on their bodies, which can restrain centipedes and scorpions. In June and July, when it is hot, it hangs under the leaves and rises high until it dies after salivaing.

    There are 40,000 species of snails all over the world, and snails are distributed in all provinces and regions of China, living in dark and damp areas such as forests, shrubs, orchards, vegetable gardens, farmlands, parks, gardens, temples, mountains, flatlands, hills, etc. It feeds mainly on plant stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and roots. It is one of the agricultural pests and an intermediate host for some parasites of livestock and poultry.
