Turbo Snail ?

[tdog7879]

Can a Turbo Snail die if it is upside down for to long? ........I found mine upside down so i turned it right side up and it has not moved in 5 hours ..Do you think it is dead?

Could have fallen because it was dying already.
What temp do you keep your water at? Some turbos cant handle temperatures above 79.

Take it out and smell it. If it smells foul then it is dead. If not then turn it back over and see if it moves over the next day or so. To answer your original question, they have a hard time turning back over and will die if left upside down.
