scruffy

I have a bunch of those freebie snails that come with plants. I tolerate them because they're better than I am at cleaning algae off the ornaments and the silicon in the corners of my aquariums. Once in awhile I'll spot one that's attractive and large enough to live with my goldfish and Mr. Snailey in the cold water tank.
I'd like to know how to acclimate a snail to such a different environment. I am thinking maybe if I place it in half a bucket of the old water, letting it
cool and gradually adding some of the new aquarium water it would be OK, but I'd like to know if there is anything else I should do.
I am aware of the possibility that once Mr. Snailey finds love, I'll have snails all over that tank, but I think the gold fish will help their family planning.
