That is good you caught the snail before it got squashed or dried out! A friend of mine had a tiny tiny crab in a tank and it escaped and they never found it. So sad. I suppose crabs can move a bit faster than snails though.

Well, they can actually really book it in the tank; you would not believe how fast they can go when they want to. Not sure how fast they are outside the tank, though.

Seeing one parachute up and down the bubbles in the tank a couple of times was absolutely hilarious though. Want to talk about moving FAST... lol!!
