Hi there
I have 3 Trapdoor snails in my 40gal. I am thinking of changing it to an open-top tank. Sounds silly, but will the snails actually climb out of the water and get out of the tank?

Thanks
 
If they are happy with the tank they shouldent :).
Other snails like nerites probably would, and apple snails lay eggs out the water so may be inclined to go for a venture, but trapdoor snails are less likely too.
The ones in my pond stay in the water anyway.
 
Trapdoor snails are gilled unlike other snails that are airbreathers with bladders. I would guess that they would not last long out of the water.
