What's wrong with my white mystery snails?

Question

Ok, I bought my mystery snails two months ago. They are whit and about 3" big.

I currently have two.. 3 days ago they were just fine going around the aquarium. Then for the next two days they just lay there hiding in their shells. What's wrong with them?

The temp is 75 degrees..

Dont worry. Honestly nothing is wrong. They can not come out for up to 10 days because they dont need food...if they dont come out for more than 10 days you may have a problem. Just moneter them for a few days. I hope i helped.

They like to play dead for some reason.  Mine even floats around the top of the tank before letting the air go and dropping to the bottom to explore.  The only way to tell if they really are dead is pretty much if they fall out of their shells.

Some times animals do strange things but don't listen to those guys they are not dead but do keep an eye on them for a few days and within no time they will be back to normal

I would test your water quality first to see if the issue is with your water. Also be sure that they are getting enough to eat. Provide them with shrimp pellets, catfish wafers, algae wafers, sliced zucchini, and lettuce.

Mine did the same thing.  I hate those things.  They're so boring.  I boiled mine as punishment for failing to keep me entertained =)  Escargot mmm.. =)
