Are snails active at night or during the day?

Snails are usually active at night and occasionally active during the day. The main reasons are:

Snail is not a biological classification name, generally refers to all terrestrial species of gastropods. Snails are animals that include many different families and genera. They feed on plants and lay eggs in the soil or on trees. They are more common on tropical islands, but some also live in cold regions. Tree-dwelling species are brightly colored, while terrestrial species are usually several similar colors, usually with stripes. The largest size is the genus Crystal Snail in Africa, which is more than 20 cm long.

Snails like to burrow into loose humus soil to live, lay eggs, regulate body humidity and absorb some nutrients, which can last up to 12 hours. They are both omnivorous and partial eaters. They like humidity and are afraid of flooding. On humid nights, if wet food is thrown into the environment, snails' appetite will be active.

Where do snails like to be?

Snails generally live in relatively humid places, hiding from direct sunlight in the bushes. The main activity season for snails is from May to November each year. When the temperature drops in winter and it is dry and hot in summer, snails go into a dormant state.

Snails are afraid of light and hide during the day. They often hide in dark and humid environments with overgrown weeds, lush trees, and lush crops, as well as in loose soil with a lot of humus, or hide in dead branches, fallen leaves, and caves. If the ground is dry or after a heavy rain, snails often crawl onto tree trunks, crop stems, and the back of leaves.
