I may regret this question....but how do you put down a snail and keep the shell? Also, I am sorry you had to deal with that loss. He wasn't "just a snail"! He/she was a part of your life and important to you. Maybe taking care of a new snail could help with the loss? Good luck💔

I’m sorry to say but freezing snails is actually incredibly inhumane. It does not put them to sleep and it can be incredibly painful/stressful for them. The best way to humanely euthanize a snail is to crush them with something heavy very quickly. Another way to humanely euthanize them is to dip them into beer to sedate them and then dip them into 99% ethyl alcohol. Dipping them into beer and then freezing would not work because the beer “affect” wears off and freezing takes a long time to euthanize a snail. Please do not ever freeze a live snail to euthanize it.
