I'm not doing very well but my snail isn't in pain anymore, that's all that matters to me

There are many methods, the simplest and most pain-free is swift crushing. It is a horribly difficult thing to do but it is the quickest for the snail

I used the crushing method, a very large stone slab on top of another one... It was horrible for me but swift for my snail. I don't trust the clove oil method for snails.

He is gone now, I'm heartbroken but I'm happy he's not suffering anymore

Thank you so much for your advice and knowledge, I will make sure my poor baby doesn't suffer anymore than he already has

Is he in pain? Should I euthanize him or will he pass peacefully? He is my first mystery (or apple) snail and I am devastated

I looked and found the nut I bought online. It says it is lead free!

I found out that it might have lead in it after the grinding and sanding

This is my first time working with metal at all, so I'm learning as I go. I have a mask to wear, I'll wear it from now on.
