The characteristics of snail's living environment, why do you want to climb out after rain?

Snails are afraid of direct sunlight, generally live in dark and humid places, and often come out at night, using loose humus to rest, lay eggs, adjust the humidity in the body and absorb some nutrients. The temperature suitable for snail living is 16-30℃, the air humidity suitable for living is 60-90%, and the humidity of culture soil is about 40%. When the temperature is lower than 5℃ or higher than 40℃, it may freeze to death or die of heat.

First, the characteristics of the living environment of Oncomelania hupensis

1, suitable for living environment

(1) Snails like to live in dark and humid places. They usually drill into loose humus to rest, lay eggs in it, adjust the humidity in their bodies and absorb some nutrients.

(2) Because snails are afraid of direct sunlight, they usually come out at night.

2. Temperature and humidity suitable for life

(1) The suitable temperature for snails is 16-30℃. When the temperature is 23-30℃, snails will grow and develop faster. When the temperature is lower than 15℃ or higher than 30℃, snails generally go into dormancy. When the temperature is below 5℃ or above 40℃.

(2) The humidity suitable for snail life is 60-90% (air humidity), and the humidity of culture soil is about 40%.

Second, why do snails crawl out after it rains?

1, the reason for climbing out

(1) Snails need a certain amount of water to survive. Usually, when the weather is dry, they will try to hide in the shell to moisturize and avoid losing a lot of water. The wet environment after the rain gives snails a good living environment, so they will climb out for food after the rain.

(2) Although snails like humidity, they are afraid of flooding. After the rain, there is usually water, so snails will climb out to breathe to prevent drowning.

2. Life characteristics

(1) Snails have strong viability. Freshly hatched snails can generally eat by themselves and do not need the care of their mothers. When they encounter natural enemies, they will retract their heads and feet into their shells and secrete mucus to seal them to protect themselves.

(2) At the same time, snails also have strong endurance, especially for cold, heat, hunger and drought.
