Hermit crabs are looking for a home. Is this also the case with snails or do they have a house from the beginning?

Hi Dominic,
I was curious about the answer to your question myself, so I looked it up. On http://www.schooltv.nl/beeldbank/clip/20031127_cndpclipsb15wijnga you will find a nice video about the birth of small snails. The answer is: yes, they are born with a house. See for yourself.
Regards, Elsa
