So just bought few new snails one seemed to be not moving at all but was still attached in shell. Put them all in display they all started moving around right away except him. Two days later still no movement took him out today to see if he was alive. I touched him no movement and smells a little not much. He is still attached in his shell. Do you guys think he is dead even though he is still stuck in his shell? Should I take him out and put him in trash? Thanks in advance guys
 
could be dead, could also be taking longer than the rest to acclimate to the tank.

what kind of snail is it? if it does smell, it's most likely dead.
 
Yes it's dead. Thanks guys I kinda figured it was just weird that it stayed attached to the shell and didn't fall out. I appreciate all the help.
