Im pretty sure my apple snail's mantle has collasped but I thought Id post pics for opinions. I know is is 99.9% fatal too sad.gif . So is it really a collapsed mantle? cry3.gif

As you can see in the background, shes in a deli cup with a drenched paper towel and about 1/4 inch of water. And Im feeding her her two favorite foods, Hikari powdered fry food and carrots.

(BTW, Im not pulling her put of the shell, shes just drooping out...... sad.gif )

I am sorry about your snail. He doesn't look good sad.gif

I have never experienced this before, but I think where you are keeping him is good. He is safe in there, and you can keep a close eye on him.

I wish him and you good luck. smile.gif
