Do you ever look into your tank and think how did this stupid snail get there!

I know I do. Here are some pics I snapped just a minute ago.

I was gonna say either on the bracing or a lid? They seem to find themselves in the the most obscure places.

I have found mine on the lid sometimes, no idea how they succeed on getting to the middle of the lid above the water

I had some of those spiral astreas (cant remember what they're called). I have no idea how that species has ever survived in the wild. I had to save him almost everyday.

One of the main reasons that I decided not to go with that species of snail. My luck by the time I saw that it was in it's back it would be too late.

Its on the center brace. It's still there actually. :)

I have never flipped one of these over. I let Darwinism take over. I ordered 20 and still have 10-15 after 7 months. I was surprised to see so many after I took this picture. I guess I never pay attention to them :/

i have my astreas in there but they dont live very long cause they always turn on there backs and then die only downside to them in my opinion

My muelleri likes to bite their foot and make them fall off the glass. He doesn't eat them just likes to bite their feet, does it to nassarius too.

Got me for a minute there. I was thinking if that was my tank (rimless) he'd be swimming

I have seen snails travel in some weird places. I also have the astrea snails and do not flip them over.

My snails are weird sometimes. Usually they are dispersed throughout the tank, but sometimes they are all bunched up together in a corner. Its like they call a meeting to discuss best places to find food or something, haha.

Gotta wonder how these things survive in the wild when they kill themselves. Can't imagine dealing with predators also. Nice pick tho I've got a big glass center brace as well but never seen one on it
