Roughly 2 weeks ago (very roughly) I noticed I had 4 snails instead of the 5 that are supposed to be in the tank. So I looked carefully around the tank area...on the floor, behind the desk, etcl, and couldn't find it so I figured it had crawled out of what I thought was a 'too small' opening by the filter and a cat had made off with it.
Two days ago I mentioned it to my daughter...she looked where I had looked...and there it was! I don't know how I overlooked it - it was very obvious.
I figured it HAD to be dead...at least 2 weeks out of water! So I said to toss it in the garbage before the cats really found it...instead she put it in a glass of water...
Three hours later...it was perfectly alive and crawling out of the glass...now it's back in the tank as if nothing had happened...
