I know its a bit of a silly question, but I'm loving my 6 year old girl's interest in our aquarium and I want to keep it going.
We added a mystery snail to our community yesterday, and as I was taking it out of the bag, she was allowed to gently touch/rub its shell. Now she wants to know if I can take it out each night for a few minutes and allow it to crawl around her palm. Is there any reason to not do this? I know the mystery snails can survive a few hours out of water, so a few minutes should not harm it. Is there any other way this could harm the snail?
Also, if the snail happens to have attached itself to the glass, what's the best way to get it off and out the tank? A gentle wiggle free?
