Snail probs

I need help! I just bought a snail at the lfs last week and it is having trouble sticking to the glass,At first I thought I didnt acclimate it long enough, But its been a week and It just won't stick,every night when i go to sleep its on the glass but then when I wake up Its up side down on the sand. Help what do I do.

 

Sounds like its dying. I've had many a snail begin to fall off the glass and then die. It could be old or just didn't like the changes. There's really not much you can do.

 

well I read some where that it was a sign of bad ph but Everything checks out ok and did I mention I lost two other snails

 

I would see what your Alk is. What type of snail is it?

 

A turbo I think?

 

I'll check my alk when i get home

 

I had this problem with some astrea snails I got a while ago. For about a week or two, they wouldn't stay stuck to anything, I would have to flip them over every other day. Then out of the blue, it's like they learned how to "walk" again and I haven't had a problem since. My params are all in check so I don't know what was up with them. I would check your levels and if they are good, then just give the snail some time.
