Why do snails come out after the rain? Why do snails come out after the rain?

1, because snails are suitable for living in a humid environment, they usually hide in a dark and humid environment. Snails can only come out to breathe fresh air and look for food when it is raining and wet. If the weather is dry, the water in the body decreases rapidly and there is a danger of death, so there are many snails after the rain.

Snails are mollusks and like to live in wet places. When the climate is dry, snails hide in cool roots, walls and grass, retract their bodies into their shells, and seal their shells with mucus secreted by their feet to sleep.

3. But on rainy days, the rain poured into the shell and soaked the mucus at the mouth of the shell, thus awakening the dormant snails. So these "little guys" squirmed their bodies by secreting mucus containing a lot of water under their feet, and put their heads out of the shell, stretched their soft bodies and moved slowly. Therefore, every time after the rain, we can find swarms of snails slowly appearing in our sight.
