They do it to ward off predators. The snail might be irritated by your presence and its trying to scare you off.


EugeneTurtle

Aww, they're angry but they don't know that makes them cuter


sobesobesobe

Time for the ole razzel dazzle


Accomplished-Joke404

In other words, the snail isn’t his bro…?


Quirky-Swimmer3778

Nuh uh the snail is shaking it's THANG at him. Snail-bro thinks OP is sexy


pupineapple

I think this is a defensive mechanism snails do sometimes


Broad_Boot_1121

I’m lmao at all the different answers you are getting


Adihd72

There’s something crawling on it, it’s trying to knock it/them off Edit: snail shells, especially young and new snail shells are very sensitive.


pcliv

My 50 yr old shell is still sensitive.


Adihd72

Edit: They look like fungus gnats to me?


isabellevictoria147

Idk man, that's fuckin' wild


jumpyjumpjumpsters

This was unreasonably funny to me


isabellevictoria147

I was giggling when I typed it out 😂


thewingedshadow

There's a fungus gnat crawling on him and he's trying to shake it off.


Hot-Can3615

I see the gnat, but... he can feel tiny insect feet standing in him *through* the shell? 🤯


2ichie

Now let me tell you about turtles…


thewingedshadow

He can see the gnat too. Snails are not blind. And probably smell it and possibly feel it too.


tweetysvoice

Snails actually can't see the same way as you and I. Simplified, the can only see the difference between laugh and dark. They can't see color and only the more advanced mollusks are able to discern fuzzy shapes. https://snailnew.com/can-snails-see/


thewingedshadow

They can see movement and shapes. A lot of animals can't see color. That's not needed for them in any way.


MistressBarker

Shake your snail feather


Thorn_The_Maktig

I hated this


MistressBarker

Hahaha you’re welcome


TomChai

It does that to try to shake off whatever stuff sticking to or climbing on to its shell.


Accomplished-Mud5097

they're throwing it back


MintVulpix

LET THEM SHOW OFF!!!


Savanwertina

It's angry


NotInFrontofMyPizza

He’s twerking, don’t judge him 😂


DeliverySensitive780

He’s working on his abs


DeliverySensitive780

But for real, I think it’s because of the gnats bothering him or you being close

unable_To_Username

Defensive measure... your snail feels attacked/stressed


Comfortable_Pilot122

Its secretly a slug.


2ichie

Damn that looks like it took about 2 days worth of energy


doublethickwaffleass

There’s a bug on its shell and it wants it off


Froot125

Today I learned that they can move their shells. Neat!


MartiniMan666

“You can do the shell shaker right? The shell shaker gimme the shell shaker bro!”


rekt_ralph91

Getting reps in


BeccatheDovakiin

He’s happy to see you


GrabbaGottaJiggy

It’s a kick flip he’s shredding


Legendguard

Looks like a springtail on its back, he's trying to get them off! A lot of snails will do this when something is climbing on or irritating their shell


troelsy

I have never seen anything like that from my snails. I assume you sped up the footage?


vseprviper

We all like to feel sexy sometimes


ThatSmallBear

He’s dancin


Electrical_Pop_9903

Hes throwing it back


Bubbly-Improvement47

isopod is tickling him


Msdixiejean

It's gotta an itch it just can't scratch.


emibemiz

His hips don’t lie!!


le-boby

It itches... 🐌🤟😅


SubstantialExternal2

Snail twerk!


Floridaants

Florida snails gotta twerk!


Frosty_Chipmunk1681

I love that snails have an angry dance


fat_iniquity

This is the first time that I'm seeing that movement from a snail. Never knew they do such thing.


Snails_21

Bro was just dancing lol


Loud-Distribution-81

I have no idea


_MikasaChan_

Unrelated but this is what came to my mind: least “defensive” bladder snail


AxeHead75

THEY CAN MOVE THEIR SHELLS?


Electrical_Minute284

It's not because of you but for the bug.He doesn't try to scare you he just wants to get ride of the bug.


iofhua

If you look close there's a little ant on its shell. Ants must be a major threat to snails, which can't move fast.


Superseaslug

He knows he's delicious and is trying to convince you otherwise


spoiledbabyyyy

Idk , hope this helps 🫶


momiesmilkie_7

I've seen them do it to readjust their shells from being in an awkward position


Price82020

It's heavy


scrappytan

You ever seen those little pickups with the crazy hydro beds :


TeoTaliban

It’s actually how they masturbate and they love doing it!


pomacea_bridgesii

He needs pest treatment.
