First thing I do when entering my garage in the morning is to look all over the floor in case any fish and/or snails decided to explore the world outside.... (my tank stands only has flaps in the front & no hoods)

Thank goodness, it is very seldom that I find fish outside, but quite commen to get snails all over.... sometimes up to 20 of 'em)

Today, I moved the bottom tank in a stand containing 9 tanks, & behind the tank was about 40 Apples in various sizes and stages of dryness..... Most all of them floated like polystyrene when I placed them back in the tanks, but about 25 have already sunk to the bottom and are starting to move about...

I have no clue how long they've been out there, hence my question.... How long can an Apple survive outsid???
 
1-2 weeks they carry some water to keep themselves moist with them in the shell
