My black mystery snail of 3 months hasn't moved since Monday night when he was crawling up the wall for a breath. He is usually a pretty active snail but recently just stopped. Today we pulled him out and gave him a sniff, no repulsive decomp smell or anything, he literally smells like nothing. His trapdoor is still firmly intact and his body isn't dissolving or anything, he is just completely unresponsive. He just has been laying on the gravel, upside-down for days, how does he breathe like that!? Is there some other way to find out whether or not he is alive? Because we can't seem to figure it out and would feel REALLY bad getting rid of him and thinking "wait, what if he WAS still alive?!"
Also, our other mystery snail is doing fine, she is currently crawling around the back corner looking for her algae disc. She is only half his size though, and gold. I don't know if that matters or anything.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
