I have a mystery snail who was fully grown when I got him back in September. For the first month that he was in my tank, he was fine. He moved around a lot, crawled on the sides and ate his food. At the beginning of October, he stopped moving. He's not dead, because he will move his head and crawl a little ways around the tank, but he will not go up on the sides. A few days ago, I moved him to his own tank so I will be able to better watch him. Now, when I go to check on him, his trap door will be dangling open, and he will be hanging out, and I will know for sure he is dead. Even when I pull him out of the water he stays that way, until you barely poke him, then he will pull his trap door shut halfway. I have another mystery snail in the original tank that is super active and hasn't had a problem. Is my snail dying or what? I've had lots of snails before but have never seen this.
