Can pond snails live in salt water?

Pond snails cannot survive in salt water as they are freshwater creatures. Pond snails are gastropods, which means that they have a "foot" that they use to move, and a shell that protects their soft body. Pond snails breathe by using gills, and they need oxygen to survive. Saltwater environments are not suitable for pond snails because the salt concentration in the water is too high for their gills to function properly. Pond snails will quickly die if they are placed in saltwater, and they cannot reproduce in saltwater. Additionally, pond snails prefer to live in shallow water with plenty of vegetation, and saltwater environments typically do not provide these conditions.
