    you can actually just pick the snail up carefully by its shell! just slide the snail a little if it’s stuck onto something and you should feel it let go and you’ll be able to take it out of your plant without harming either the snail or the plant! just set the snail on a rock or a leaf outside! or if you’re interested you can keep snails as pets!feeding them fruits and veggies!

    if it’s a small snail it could be a baby, you can do the same thing just grab him more gently considering they’re shells not fully formed, he shouldn’t harm your plant other than eating a few little nibbles, he probably enjoys it.

    Definitely try to find it and relocate it to somewhere outside away from your plants. I had one in my greenhouse that did some real damage to an orchid.
